23.11.2021 -An assessment conducted by the International Labor Organization ILO revealed, on Tuesday, the increase in child labor among the displaced people in the states of East Darfur and West Kordofan.
According to the Office for the Coordination of Hummanitrian Affairs, an assessment conducted by the International Labor Organization (ILO) Sudan office last January found that child was very common among the forcibly displaced and host communities in East Darfur and West Kordofan.
Children start working at an early age, often supporting family partnerships, home productions, or being employed by other members of the community.
While most children continue to attend school, their school work is often negatively affected by working long hours, carrying heavy loads in the heat and dust. The ILO report stated that all these factors must be addressed in order to successfully reduce and eliminate child labor in the target communities.
