A bonded worker in an Indian textile factory whose child passed away as a result of unsafe factory conditions has received compensation. This individual was given over $4,000 U.S. dollars, after his daughter was electrocuted in his workplace. The owner of the factory required that the child was left in the factory, while her parents went into the village. In this way, the factory owner was keeping the child as “collateral” in order to ensure her parents’ return. Despite a ban, thousands of people are trapped in labor bondage in India.
