More agencies join Bangsamoro anti-child labor bloc

In the forefront of the efforts to address the decades-old practice of employing children as workers and armed combatants in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are the regional labor and employment, local government and social welfare ministries, the Development Academy of the Bangsamoro and the Police Regional Police Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.

“We are ready to help address child labor and use of children as combatants in these 63 barangays even if no longer under us,” Mendoza told reporters via Viber, after learning that more military units and law enforcement outfits have pledged support for the program. Facilitators told reporters Saturday the Japanese government, the United Nations Children’s Fund and the ILO are the main benefactors of the cross-section anti-child labor campaign in all six provinces and three cities in the Bangsamoro region.
