Subject: EU study Combating Child labour + report 'Understanding
Untouchability'
To:
Dear reader,
We would to draw your attention to two important reports that have
recently been published.
The first is a study by the European Commission, mandated by the
European member states (the Council) called Combating Child Labour.
Its gives an overview of areas where the EU has possibilities to be
active against child labour in the world. These areas incude:
- development co-operation e.g. on education
- human rights dialogues
- trade policy
- public procurement
- corporate social responsibility.
At the end the European Commission raises a number of policy questions
to be answered by the European institutions, the member states and
other ''stakeholders'
The campaign ''Stop Child Labour - School is the best place to work''
plans to react to these questions. You or your organization could of
course do the same ánd/or or send us your remarks which we can take
into account formullating our answers.
You can find the report here:

A ground-breaking study - ''Understanding Untouchability'
discrimination in the Indian state of Gujarat shows that the practice
of ''untouchability'
clear that the Indian state fails to address the issue. The report
lists 98 forms of untouchability by non-Dalits against Dalits but also
points out the discrimination between Dalit sub-castes. The report
while being rigorously scientific is also a call to action.
