CRIN - Child Rights Information Network - Organisations

Further details: Activist Networking against the Exploitation of Child Domestic Labour.
Anex CDW is currently the only organization in South Africa that has child domestic work as its primary focuses. Anex CDW was established in 2003 to work against the exploitation of especially the girl child, who is transported or trafficked from the rural areas to the urban areas to work in the domestic work sector. The organisational strategies are directed towards combating the phenomenon of child domestic work as well as the trafficking of children. To this end it was deemed important to build the capacity of the community and government departments to support the affected child. We employ a strong emphasis on awareness raising both as an intervention and prevention strategy.In addition, it became imperative to empower the child domestic worker to contribute to the intervention strategies within the project activities.
