Rescued children from Gujarat (India) Bt cotton fields dream of better future

They may have lost their golden childhood, but a group of children rescued from being trafficked to neighbouring Gujarat for working in Bt cotton fields, now dream of a better, torture-free future. Anil, 14, who was lured into leaving his home three years ago to work in a cotton field in Gujarat, told PTI, ”Life was quite miserable there. Besides working hard for over 12 hours, we had to go through immense physical abuse on a regular basis.” ”I will never like any child to suffer this,” says Anil, who hails from a remote village in Rajasthan’s Udaipur district.
