Child Labour Action Research Innovation in South & South Eastern Asia

In CLARISSA, Terre des hommes Foundation is co-developing with stakeholders innovative and context-appropriate ways to increase options for children to avoid engagement in hazardous exploitative labour in Bangladesh and Nepal. The primary beneficiaries of the programme are children in modern slavery and the worst forms of child labour and those who are vulnerable to being drawn into it. The families of these children are likely to benefit from greater resilience to shocks, better options for their children’s safe and healthy future and less intra-family stress and conflict. Similarly, businesses will benefit from practical solutions to child-labour free supply chains and policy makers, NGOs, and researchers will benefit from a knowledge of what works.
