It is the day Kailash and Sumedha arrive at Bal Ashram. As Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, yesterday Kailash met with world leaders at six different locations and today has flown from Bangladesh to Delhi, driven four hours from Delhi to Viratnagar and Bal Ashram and is now engulfed in boys as the car arrives. No rest for the weary – though “weary” is never a description for Kailash or his wife, Sumedha.

Branded Childhood

Jan 27, 2017 SOMO Comment

Western brands are making sure their supply chains of free of child labor. That's the good news. The bad news is that until garment workers are paid a living wage, their children will be in the workforce somewhere, denied a proper education, denied their childhoods. "Clean" supply chains are window dressing without a living wage for workers.

Dec 16, 2016 Document refugees, migrants, children, internal displacement Unicef Comment

2016 Unicef report on the 50 million children caught up in migration and war. Many of the youngest refugees have known only conflict and deprivation in their short lives. If we fail to provide them with opportunities for education and a more normal childhood, how will they be able to contribute positively to their societies? But if young refugees are accepted and protected today, if they have the chance to learn and grow, and to develop their potential, they can be a source of stability and economic progress.

The Australian Government is choosing to subject women, men and children to an elaborate and cruel system of abuse with a policy that is intentionally designed to harm people, as highlighted in the new report issued by Amnesty International, leaving refugees to rot on the stony island of Nauru offshore. The local population abuses them with impunity, and authorities have ignored numerous cases of self-harm and assault of children.
