1 Work for children under age 18 that in some way harms or exploits them (physically, mentally, morally, or by blocking children from education). http://www.childlaborphotoproject.org/ http://www.childlaborphotoproject.org/ Of the world’s children, more than 200 million are child labourers.

5 Around 2 million Nepali children are engaged in child labour, including the worst forms 70% of these children are between 10-14 years old More boys than girls are working Most work in the agricultural sector as unpaid family members, or as bonded labourers to assist their parents who are trapped in debt bondage Source: http://globalmarch.org/worstformsreport/world/nepal.htmlhttp://globalmarch.org/worstformsreport/world/nepal.html

6 Causes of child labour include: Lack of enforcement of anti-child labour legislation Lack of family support and access to education Recent civil war where both sides (the Maoists and the Nepali government) enlisted child soldiers Source: Nepal – The child labour situation http://www.ilo.org/

7 Many children in hazardous and dangerous jobs are in danger of injury, even death. Beyond compassion, consider who today’s children will become in the future. Between today and the year 2020, the vast majority of new workers, citizens and new consumers — whose skills and needs will build the world’s economy and society — will come from developing countries. Over that 20-year period, some 730 million people will join the world’s workforce — more than all the people employed in today's most developed nations in 2000. More than 90 percent of these new workers will be from developing nations, according to research by Population Action International. How many will have had to work at an early age, destroying their health or hampering their education? (http://www.childlaborphotoproject.org/)http://www.childlaborphotoproject.org/

8 Many organizations around the world are working to combat child labour in trafficking (ex. the International Labour Organization) Governments are forming anti-child labour legislation and freeing child slaves Facilities and programs are being created to assist in the care of freed child slaves There are 28 million fewer child slaves today than there were 4 years ago in the world (www.ilo.org).www.ilo.org

9 A long process by which a former slave regains his/her mental balance, becomes part of a group, and learns new skills in order to live in freedom A person who is in a rehabilitation program or facility is called a client Source: Introduction to Rehabilitation projects http://www.humantrafficking.org/publications/627http://www.humantrafficking.org/publications/627

10 There are three periods of rehabilitation: IMMEDIATE CARE Giving care in the first days after a client’s release or rescue from slavery THE FOLLOWING WEEKS AND MONTHS Helping the client recover, whether in the community or through services in a special safe place MOVING TOWARD REINTEGRATION Preparing the client to settle and start life again in a normal community Source: Introduction to Rehabilitation projects http://www.humantrafficking.org/publications/627http://www.humantrafficking.org/publications/627
