SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2013, para. 28
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Children engaged in domestic work, most of them girls, are highly vulnerable to violence. According to ILO estimates contained in the publication Ending Child Labour in Domestic Work and Protecting Young Workers for Abusive Working Conditions, there may be as many as 100 million domestic workers worldwide, 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, through having to work long hours without rest, being denied holidays or being deprived of wages, as well as to serious manifestations of violence and abuse.
