Manila jailhouse: Rowena, Dolly, and Jennifer

Manila Jail House

The International Labor Organization estimates that 50 to 60 million children between the ages of 5 and 11 work in hazardous circumstances.

In addition to traditional involvement in agricultural and domestic work, children are now involved in a whole range of extractive and manufacturing sectors, often in dangerous and exploitative conditions. At its worst, this involves the trafficking of children as child sex workers.
