Protecting children is one of the essential elements in the pursuit of social justice and universal peace. One of the factors that work against investment in human capability and against the provision of decent and dignified work is child labour. Child Labour robs children of their health, their education and even their lives. It is indeed a problem with many faces.
- HIV AIDS
It is estimated that currently around 920,000 people in Zambia are living with HIV, with 94,000 deaths as a result of AIDS per year. According to figures in ‘Children On The Brink 2004,’ by the year 2003 19% of Zambian children under the age of 18 had been orphaned, totaling 1,100,000 children. These figures suggest that Zambia has amongst the very highest proportion of orphans in Sub-Sahara Africa.
- SOCIAL SECURITY
Social security is the protection which society provides for its members through a series of public measures against the economic and social distress that otherwise would be caused by the absence or substantial reduction of earnings resulting from sickness, maternity, employment injury, unemployment, invalidity, old age or death.
- WEDGE
The International Labour Organization (ILO) through its In Focus Programme for Boosting Employment through Small Enterprise Development (IFP/SEED) started implementing the Women Entrepreneurship Development and Gender Equality (WEDGE) project activities in Zambia in 2001.
- WOOP
