Last in Line Last in School

‘Last in Line, Last in School’, reveals that the world’s richest donors, despite pledging to ensure every child receives an education by 2015, are selecting more stable countries to receive aid for education over those affected by conflict – effectively leaving those countries with little hope of breaking the cycle of poverty and conflict.

In countries affected by conflict, schools can be destroyed, commandeered by armed forces or used as shelter and teachers may be killed or forced to flee, children can be easy targets for recruitment as child soldiers or exploited as cheap labour and are more vulnerable to trafficking and abuse.  Click on the report's cover to download the report.

The small hands of slavery

Two hundred years ago the British government outlawed slave trading throughout the British Empire. The passing of the Slave Trade Act on 25 March 1807 led to the eventual abolition of transatlantic slavery. The Act has been hailed as an international victory for humanity.

Yet across the world, 218 million children aged 5–17 are still working as child labourers; of those children, 126 million are involved in hazardous work. Around 8.4 million of them are trapped in the very worst forms of illegal, degrading and dangerous work. These children are working in conditions of slave labour. Click here to download the report
