 ==History==
-The Concerned for Working Children started working on the issue of Child Labour and Child Participation in the 1980s. The organisation registered itself as a [[non-profit]] in 1985 and headquartered at L.B. Shastri Nagar, Vimanapura,[[Bengaluru]].<ref name="CWC Reference1" /> CWC's early work involved the unionisation of the informal sector where children below the age of 14 years comprised nearly 40% of the work force. The children and the members of the union embarked on an exercise to draft an alternative legislation for working children in 1985. The organisation since its inception had been working towards emancipation of children from weaker sections and  make them respected citizens and  help children in establishing and maintaining a secular, equitable, just and non-discriminatory world on par with their adult counterparts.<ref name="CWC Reference1" /> The organisation had planned to expand their outreach based on four ‘thematic pillars’ of child labour, child rights, migrant workers and civil society participation.<ref name="CWC Reference1" />
