WHAT IS ORPHANAGE TRAFFICKING?
Orphanage trafficking is a form of child trafficking defined as the recruitment or transfer of children into orphanages, or any residential care facility (RCF), for a purpose of exploitation or profit. It involves both ‘acts’ and ‘purposes of exploitation’ that meet the definition of child trafficking under the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (‘UN Trafficking Protocol’).
This document provides clear definitions of what orphanage trafficking is and how to detect this kind of exploitation.

This toolkit developed by Plan International Asia-Pacific Regional Hub serves as a practical compendium of programming guidance for practitioners, and contributes to accelerating efforts to end child, early and forced marriage and unions (CEFMU) by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The key intention behind it is to offer and make available consolidated practical guidance on effective and impactful CEFMU programming and practices for Plan International and other civil society practitioners and actors in the region and beyond. As such, the practical guidance and…
Every day, millions of children worldwide experience the consequences of violent conflicts, climate change, disasters and epidemics. In times of crisis, when people are forced to flee their homes, schools close, jobs are lost and the availability of services decreases, child labour becomes a coping mechanism for many families in distress. It deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity. Some of the worst forms of child labour, such as trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, disproportionately impact girls. Others, such as hazardous work, cause often life-…
Where children may be engaged in vocational training, livelihoods or decent work programmes, humanitarian actors will need to verify the age of the child, to ensure that children are old enough to participate. This tool, part of the Inter-Agency Toolkit: Preventing and Responding to Child Labour in Humanitarian Action, offers guidance on age verification, including…
Worldwide, an estimated 152 million children are in child labour, almost half of them, 73 million, work in hazardous child labour. The global health crisis is leading to mass disruption with far-reaching consequences. Many children are out of school and economic pressures on families continue to grow. This could push millions of children into child labour and makes child labour an imminent concern. Already working children are likely to be more exposed to the virus (further increasing spread) and face higher risks to falling into worst forms of child labour (WFCL).

Doing research involving children in the context of sexual exploitation raises a range of ethical questions and dilemmas. Some of these are similar for any research with human participants or vulnerable groups; but others are very specific to children affected by sexual exploitation (see ‘Ethics of Research on Sexual Exploitation Involving Children’ for a review of the literature). This document provides guidance for negotiating these ethical questions for a range of people engaged in field research (from lead researchers to data collectors).
These guidelines emphasise being simple and…
In this video, Sreyna and Chenda, two practitioners from Hagar Cambodia, discuss their learning regarding the impact of the care setting on child rehabilitation. By comparing the differences observed in the rehabilitation process for children supported in Hagar’s family-based care versus in their shelters, Sreyna and Chenda outline the rationale for Hagar’s decision to close their shelters and expand their family-based care and community rehabilitation programs. Sreyna and Chenda further discuss the difference between employing an individual versus ecological and family systems approach to…
