  2. Out of sight, out of mind: child domestic workers in the Philippines

    In April 1999 Anti-Slavery began a project, which set out to raise the profile of a type of child labour that could be considered under the proposed ILO Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention. With the new Convention due to be adopted in June 1999, the project aimed to challenge the Philippine government's commitment to the new ILO Convention. The project was funded by Oxfam and Anti-Slavery, implemented together with Visayan Forum, a non-government organization working on migrant child labour issues. This video produced by Anti-Slavery as part of its campaign on child domestic workers in the Philippines, has led to the drafting of a law which will protect child domestic workers.
