This
resource manual is intended to support all those wishing to take action against
child labour in domestic work and to protect young domestic workers of legal
working age. It is designed, in particular, to strengthen the capacity of trade
unions and workers' groups, community-based organisations and NGOs to advocate
for an end to exploitation and abuse of children in domestic work, and to
provide good practice guidance on the best ways of directly assisting these
children.
The manual has been prepared as part of the Global March Against Child Labour's
advocacy campaign for the elimination of child labour in domestic work and the
protection of child domestic workers of legal working age.
In addition to providing practical guidance to those planning advocacy and
direct assistance with child domestic workers, the manual also offers
suggestions to groups on how they can promote change on some of the wider
socio-economic issues affecting them.
Comic strip dialogues found throughout the text are designed to debunk common
myths about child domestic work and provide a starting point for discussions
amongst stakeholders, or can be used to stimulate debate amongst participants
during capacity building sessions.
