Charles Dickens a prolific, literary figure of Victorian era. Before Dickens, no novelist had treated the lower middle classes so widely or so frankly. He tests them on their own occasions rather than as a detached superior form examined. Dickens' readings from his own works demonstrate plainly how he tried to fulfill not just his own personal desires in his novels but also to bear witness to their effect directly on his viewers. In the novel, Oliver Twist, Dickens builds a plot centered on the boy's encounter with an ungrateful reality. Throughout the ages, literature in its variegated form has spoken of several social, political, economic, physical and psychological issues. Exploitation of children thus refers to unfair treatment meted out to children for any benefit. Exploitation of children includes using children for servitude through physical labor or personal, sexual gratification. Children also suffer from psychological exploitation, when they have to pass through difficult phases either in school or at home. They even suffer from social exploitation through racial discrimination or gender bias.
