You are invited to join the next virtual session of the Global Peer Learning Group on Child Domestic Work, facilitated by The Freedom Fund, which will focus on how to promote adult accountability for children living and working in the households of extended family members.
An estimated 17.2 million children - mostly girls - are in paid or unpaid domestic work around the world. Many of these children live with their relatives, and while their situation can offer stability, love and belonging, some kinship care arrangements can mask violence and exploitation under the guise of living in a protective family environment.
The session is open to all and will take place on Tuesday, May 14 at 11:00 London/ 13:00 Nairobi/ 15:30 New Delhi/ 17:00 Bangkok. To add this event to your calendar, please click here.
Discussants will include Blessing Mutama from FOST, Zimbabwe; Jonathan Anderson, Challenging Heights, Ghana and Dawit Fekadu, from Bethany, Ethiopia. Discussion will explore:
- How we can promote (adult) accountability for child domestic workers (CDWs) living with extended family members or family friends.
- Is there a way to regulate the situation of children living under kinship care arrangements to prevent their exploitation as CDWs?
