Strategy for addressing child labor, sexual abuse and trafficking in the entertainment industry
Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) has worked to end child labor and trafficking in the circus industry. There is a serious problem of trafficking of young girls between Nepal and India (both countries are on the Tier 2 Watch list in U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report). The girls are trafficked for the purposes of slavery, including sexual slavery and prostitution.
Accompanying human rights activists to protect them from danger
An accompaniment volunteer is a compelling and
visible reminder to those using violence, that it will not go
unnoticed. Peace Bridges International, an international NGO, organizes
volunteers from around the world to visit countries such as Guatemala
to accompany civil society leaders who risk injury or death. The
foreign volunteers spend up to 24 hours a day with these individuals,
serving as a visible reminder that there will be an international
response to any use of violence.
