Inter-Agency Child Labour Toolkit | Preventing and Responding to Child Labour in Humanitarian Action
Every day, millions of children worldwide experience the consequences of violent conflicts, climate change, disasters and epidemics. In times of crisis, when people are forced to flee their homes, schools close, jobs are lost and the availability of services decreases, child labour becomes a coping mechanism for many families in distress. It deprives children of their childhood, their potential...
Child Labour Tool | Children Are Not Little Adults
Many people assume that the work children do is not particularly dangerous, or that workplace dangers and hazards for adults affect children in the same way. However, children are affected more significantly by the same hazards because their bodies are still growing and they are still developing socially and emotionally, which makes them more vulnerable to workplace hazards than adults.
Child Labour Tool | Signs of Child Labour
A number of signals can indicate that children are involved in child labour or the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) such as forms of slavery, commercial sexual exploitation, or trafficking. A child can display one or multiple signs. Sometimes humanitarian actors may suspect that something is not right and use their professional skills to talk to a child and find out more information. None of the...
Child Labour Tool | Child Labour in Refugee, Internally Displaced and Migrant Settings
This tool provides an overview of risks for and key actions to protect children in refugee, internally displaced and migrant populations.
Child Labour Tool | Disability and Child Labour
The linkages between disability and child labour are complex, and clear evidence on their causal relationship is still hard to come by – in particular the question of whether children with disabilities are more vulnerable to entering child labour often remains unanswered. However, analysis of other factors closely linked to disability and child labour, such as poverty and access to education, can...

Virtual Launch | Inter-Agency Toolkit: Preventing and Responding to Child Labour in Humanitarian Action
Register via this Zoom link. Worldwide, an estimated 152 million girls and boys are in child labour, almost half of them, 73 million, work in hazardous child labour.

However, there are great opportunities for the global community to...
