This Child Trafficking Legal Guide has been produced by Baker McKenzie, World Vision, State Street and 3M to support the End Violence Against Children Program.
This first legal guide addresses frequently asked questions encountered by World Vision relating to protecting child victims of human trafficking in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Abstract
Challenges to birth registration for children whose parents migrate transnationally for work have been inadequately investigated.

Families register children based on priorities, capacities, understanding of entitlements…

Key learning outlines the need for global collaboration and the need for an indigenous…
