Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
This short video has been produced as part of an outcome of the project, “Sustainable solutions in the fight against child labour in home-based craft production” – an action research project focusing on rights of children involved in home-based craft works and with the objective of ensuring the rights and development of children working in the home-based craft sector in India. The project, supported by European Union, has been implemented by Fair Trade Forum-India (FTFI), Centre for Education and Communication (CEC) and Traidcraft Exchange. The project developed a model to address child labour in the home-based crafts sector after rigorous consultations among stakeholders. The model got tested in the selected locations/learning centres and their supply chains in the National Capital Territory of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh namely the Child Trust in Daryaganj, New Delhi and Raipura Firozabad, UP; TARA in Labour Colony and Nikaun, Firozabad, UP; Conserve in Bahadurgarh, Delhi NCR; Literacy India in Bhati and Neb Sarai, New Delhi; Bharat Janta Siksha Kendra in Jafrabad and Seelampur, New Delhi; HOPE Worldwide (India) in Sangam Vihar, New Delhi; Society for Civil International in Nangloi, New Delhi; and HANDS in Shiv Nagar and Meena Nagar, Moradabad, UP. This film documents the learning from the project, but focussing on the situation of child labourers engaged in the garment units in Jaffrabad, Delhi and bangle making units in Firozabad, UP.
