Vulnerability to HIV Infection Children HIV and AIDS Vulnerability to HIV Infection

Vulnerability to HIV Infection Economic, social, cultural and legal factors; Cause and effect are interrelated; A single effect or the totality of effects increases vulnerability to HIV.

Vulnerability to HIV Infection Children become Care Giver Illness Emotional distress Deaths of parents Economic Problems Issues of Property and Inheritance Children without adequate care School drop out Child trafficking Exploitative Child Labor Poor housing Violence Poor Nutrition Sexual Exploitation Stigma and Discrimination Reduced Access to Health Services Vulnerability to HIV Infection

Child Labour in the Caribbean Vulnerability to HIV Child Labour in the Caribbean

Child Labour Study commissioned by ILO Sub-regional Office for the Caribbean, (ILO a UNAIDS Co- Sponsor agency) in 2005. Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago

Child Labour The study reflects a broad comparative approach and completes the six companion studies on the individual countries. Identify apparent gaps and inconsistencies in laws relating to child labour. Provide a guide for legislative reform.

Child Labour Definition: Both paid and unpaid work and activities that are mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children. It is work that deprives them of opportunities for schooling or that requires them to assume the multiple burdens of schooling and work at home and in other workplaces and work that enslaves them and separates them from their family.

Child Labour - Conlusions The commissioned study concluded that: There are constitutional provisions in all countries surveyed which recognize and declare certain fundamental rights and freedoms. In addition, some countries have further provisions in their criminal acts that outlaw worst forms of child labour. Gaps could be remedied by a process of amendments.

Child Labour - Conclusions With exceptions of the Bahamas, none of the countries has the requisite legislative framework dealing with light work, defined as: Not likely to be harmful to the health or development of young persons and not such as to prejudice their attendance at school, their participation in vocational orientation or training programmes approved by the competent authority or their capacity to benefit from the instruction received.

Child Labour – Recommended Reform Caribbean countries should ensure that a policy on child labour is placed in the context of national social and economic development policies that address the larger issues of poverty, education, family, life and youth development. Establish a comprehensive Policy framework to guide law reform on the issue of child labour.

Child Labour – Recommended Reform Within the Caribbean Region the law on minimum age for admission to employment varies widely (12-16 years). Request: Set minimum age - not less than 15 years, consistent with the compulsory age for completion of schooling and human development standard of the country.

Child Labour – Recommended Reform No existing specific legislation on child trafficking in the surveyed countries Request: Introduction of comprehensive legislation on the sale and trafficking of children.

Child Labour Beyond legal action other actions have to be undertaken by the Governments to create a supportive environment : Poverty Poor parenting Violence against children Sexual abuse of children Deficiencies in the educational, health and legal sectors; and Lack of Monitoring and Evaluation systems

Child Rights – Legal Obligations of the States All states in the Caribbean region have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. None has entered any reservation to reduce their obligation to protect children from all forms of violence.

Child Rights Every child should enjoy every right in the Convention on the Rights of the Child . The failure to protect one right of the child could be the basis to put the life of the child in jeopardy through their contracting HIV or through them facing the consequences of HIV infection.
