SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 14
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Children engaged in domestic work, most of them girls, are also highly vulnerable to violence. According to the most recent figures published by the International Labour Organization (ILO), at least 52.6 million people are employed as domestic workers across the world, 15.5 million of whom are children. Most of them work as housekeepers, nannies or caregivers, and many are also migrants who hope to support their families through their remittances. Often isolated, with no formal protection structure, child domestic workers are highly vulnerable to labour exploitation, working long hours without rest, being denied holidays or deprived of wages, and enduring serious manifestations of violence and abuse.
