Rustam, 10, works in an aluminum factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. 25
other children work with him for 12 hours a day.

7. Theirchildhood…
A sewing shop in Sadarghat, Dhaka where many children are employed to
operate the machines in the extensive textile industry. The pay for young
children is usually less than $1 a day, but this money is essential to the
survival of their families and quitting is not an option.

The grease-covered hands of a boy working in an engine repair shop
near the Sadarghat ferry terminal in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

9. Theirchildhood…
At just 9 years old, the little boy helps his parents in counting and
making sugar cane stacks in Chhoyk village, Cambodia.

10. Theirchildhood…
A 15-year-old boy sits on the truck ready to start another day of
work in the sugar cane plantations in Chhoyk village, Cambodia. He
dropped out of school when he was 8 years old to work.

11. Theirchildhood…
A young Kun Khmer boxer waits for his boxing match to begin. Child
boxers in Cambodia fight to help support their families, and see
boxing as a means out of poverty.

Ranlyn works clearing land for her 'adopted family' in Omlaing,
Cambodia. She works for them in exchange for her father’s debt.

13. What is child labor ?
Child labour is work that
exceeds a minimum number
of hours, depending on the
age of a child and on the type
of work. Such work is
considered harmful to the
child and should therefore be
eliminated.
Ages 5-11: At least one hour of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work
per week.
Ages 12-14: At least 14 hours of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work
per week.
Ages 15-17: At least 43 hours of economic or domestic work per week.

the Asia and the
Pacific; 10.7 million in
the Americas; 1.2
million in the Arab
States and 5.5
million in Europe and
Central Asia.

15. IF YOU HAD A HEART,
YOU’D HEAR A VOICE
Worldwide 218 million children between 5 and 17 years are in employment.
152 million are victims of child labour; almost half of them, 73 million, work
in hazardous child labour.
Children below the age of 18 years represent between 40 to 50 percent of all
forced labor victims.
Almost half of all 152 million children victims of child labour are aged 5-11
years.
The obvious vulnerability of working children also means that some face a
further layer of exploitation - becoming victims of trafficking and sexual
abuse.
Among 152 million children in child labour, 88 million are boys and 64 million
are girls.

17. Child labor in Bangladesh
Poverty causes families to send
children to work, often in
hazardous and low-wage jobs, such
as brick-chipping, construction and
waste-picking. Children are paid
less than adults, with many
working up to twelve hours a day.
Full-time work frequently prevents
children from attending school,
contributing to drop-out rates.
On average, children work 28 hours a
week and earn 222 taka (3.3 USD) a
week.
93 per cent of child laborers work in the informal sector – in small factories
and workshops, on the street, in home-based businesses and domestic
employment – the enforcement of labor laws is virtually impossible

18. Legal protection
Bangladesh enacted the Labour Act in 2006, which
includes a chapter on child labour.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment has
recently adopted a National Child Labour
Elimination Policy 2010, which provides a
framework to eradicate all forms of child labour by
2015.
According to this policy, the criteria for defining hazardous work
for children includes: working more than five hours a day; work
that creates undue pressure on physical and psychological
wellbeing and development; work without pay; work where the
child becomes the victim of torture or exploitation or has no
opportunity for leisure.

19. Child labor in Cambodia
Child involvement in economic activity
is widespread in Cambodia. In all, an
estimated 52 percent of 7-14 year-
olds, over 1.4 million children in
absolute terms, were economically
active in the 2001 reference year.
This percentage is very high relative
to other countries with similar levels
of income, underscoring that
children’s work poses a particular
concern in the Cambodian context.
Involvement in economic activity starts very early and rises sharply with age, inducing
late school entry and early school dropout. About 16 percent of children are already
economically active at age six years, and over half of all children are economically
active by the age of 10 years. An even larger proportion of children are engaged in
non-economic productive activities and specifically housework. An estimated 79
percent of 7- 14 year-olds were engaged in housework activities on a regular basis.

20. Legal protection
Source: www.unicef.org/cambodia/child_labour
The Government
signed the UN
Convention on the
Rights of the Child in
1992, ratified the ILO
Convention No. 138
(Minimum Age) in
1999 and ILO
Convention No. 182
(Worst Forms) in
2005.
Provision No 2, Article
177 of the Law
provides that the
minimum allowable
age for any kind of
employment or work
that by its nature could
be hazardous to the
health, safety, or
morality is 18 years.
Enforcement of child labour laws is another major challenge
facing the government
