Child Labour/Protection

JCM uses international protocol and standards of the ILO in combating child labour through prevention, protection and rehabilitation strategies. Under prevention, children at risk are empowered with life skills and mentored. Under protection strategies, children are directly withdrawn from child labour and re-integrated back into formal school or empowered with vocational skills. The protection strategy also involves providing protective gear and training to children above the minimum age of employment. With rehabilitation psychosocial care/support and economic/livelihood empowerment is provided to household of children protected and prevented. Children separated or at risk of separation from their household are also targeted. Those who are separated brought in transit houses and schools run by JCM before they are re-integrated into school and households where they ran away. Those are risk of separation, psychosocial support and livelihood empowerment is provided.
