The invisible workforce

The invisible workforce

At least ten million children worldwide spend their childhoods hidden away, working in private homes. Exploited behind closed doors, these invisible children face long and tiring days and hazardous conditions. They are denied their right to education, proper compensation and protection, often compounded by extreme neglect, physical and sexual abuse. This meets the definition of worst forms of child labour, amounting to modern slavery. The Freedom Fund and our partners work to build an empowered collective of child domestic workers and allies, civic organisations and government institutions that protect these children from abuse and exploitation.
