Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Since it appears that children have been lured into working at factories and the owners of the factories have restrained or confined those children whilst requiring them to work in a manner which is inhumane and breaches the minimum standard of labour under the law on labour protection and which as well affects the peace of the society, it is appropriate to criminalise the said acts as new particular offences. Therefore, it is necessary to enact this Act.
