The Lubombo Child Friendly Court:A Pilot of Social Work Systems Strengthenin...HFG Project
Nearly one in three Swazi girls experiences sexual violence before the age of 18 and one in four suffer physical violence, according to a 2007 UNICEF national study on violence against children in Swaziland.
To help these young victims, the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland has taken strong steps to support them by providing not only counseling and health services, but also special child-friendly courts (CFCs) to make it easier for them to testify against their attackers. Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the HFG project assisted with developing the country’s third CFC in Siteki, Lubombo, and training social workers to assist young victims.
Ms. Zee Catherine Masuku, MSW, HFG’s Regional Social Welfare Advisor in Swaziland, presented key findings and major lessons learned from this effort at The Network for Social Work Management’s 26th Annual Management Conference in Washington, DC, on June 4, 2015.

CWISH from the day of its establishment has been rigorously working for ensuring the rights of children and this year too we could bring change in the lives of vulnerable children. This was possible by adopting various strategies and working directly with children, school, and communities to advocating on promoting children's rights in community, district and National level.
CWISH conceptualized campaigns like Green Flag Movement against child labor and Youth in Black Cap against Child Sexual Abuse which has been success to create a momentum in reducing violence against children.
Nepal is in the process of drafting new constitution. In this context, CWISH engaged with members of constitutional assembly, parliament and the civil society to ensure children's right in the constitution. Further, CWISH instigated to review 25 years of Convention on the rights of Child (CRC) in Nepal which is in the process to document achievements, learning, challenges and providing recommendations.

Marriage and Divorce among Adolescents: Before and After COVID19, why we can'...Young Lives Oxford
For many young people, adolescence is a time when the world opens up as they choose their future paths. But for those living in the most marginalised families, their choices remain limited. Twelve million girls are still married under the age of 18 every year, and UN agencies warn of a doubling of this number due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This presentation was delivered on the 19th of May, as part of a webinar, organised by Young Lives, Child Frontiers, Girls not Brides and GreeneWorks, and included a presentation from WHO's Chandra Mouli.
The webinar brought together Girls Not Brides’ Agenda for Action in the face of COVID-19, new research from Young Lives and Child Frontiers on married, cohabiting and divorced adolescents, and GreeneWorks’ research on the pathways and obstacles to leaving child, early, and forced marriage.

Private Schools in India: More Learning, More InequalityYoung Lives Oxford
Caine Rolleston and Rhiannon Moore tackle the following questions: What are the characteristics of children attending different school types? How do learning and learning progress compare across different types of school? How does this change when we include controls for student background? Within private schools, what is the relationship between fees paid and learning gains? Considering all of these things, what are the implications for equity within the Indian education system?

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Introduction
ANPPCAN Uganda is
part of the continent-
wide movement of
chapters in over 26
African countries
Pioneer African NGO
to promote and
protect the rights of
children in Uganda
established in 1992
4. Protecting the children,
securing the future
HISTORY
ANPPCAN has been Implementing anti-child labour
initiatives since 2001
2001 –Addressing worst forms of child labor in
Arua, Jinja & Kasese districts
2002 – 2004 – Addressing harmful child domestic

5. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Consolidating Gains in
the past Anti - Child
labour Initiatives
In 2013 with funding from HIVOS, a much
more focused IABA project was started in
Rakai district to consolidate further the
gains of past anti-child labour campaign.
Purpose
To contribute to elimination of child
labour in Uganda through the creation of
child labour free zones in Rakai district.
6. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Understanding
CLFZ
A child labour free zone is a place where no child
labour exists and where all children go to school.
This could be a village or a plantation.
In a child labour free zone everyone is convinced
that all children of school going age must be in
school on full time and regular basis.
Everyone is in such a zone convinced that a
school is the best place for these children to
work and get nurtured into a responsible adult
Everyone, including children therefore
cooperates to completely eliminate child labour
and get all children into school.
7. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Rakai CLF Zones
The program is being
piloted in two Parishes of
Mitukula and Nakatoogo
in Rakai district with the
expectation of having all
children of school going
age in the two parishes
in school, regularly
attending school and on
full time basis
8. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Process of establish
CLFZ in Rakai
Working with children, we conducted a baseline
survey and findings showed that 71% of boys and
girls in the two parishes had dropped out of
school in in the previous year due to heavy child
work demands
The process to identify, verify and withdraw
affected children to be enrolled back in school
was done with active involvement of children.
In consultation with children, we set up and
supported two Motivation Centres and Short
Term Camps (MCSTC) for 400 older (9-14) never
been to school children withdrawn from child
labour to join lower classes
9. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Process Cont.
These MCSTC built children’s
confidence and motivation to
enroll and stay school.
In consultation with children,
we established and supported
two non residential Bridge
Centres for Accelerated
Learning for 100 withdrawn
older out of school children
in the age ranges 9 -14 who
had chosen not to start in the
lowest classes of Primary
school.
10. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Process cont..
Over 1,600 children
aged 5 to 14 years who
had either never been
to school or dropped
out school were
enrolled in school and
provided with
scholastic materials
(books, pens,
mathematical sets,
toilet tissues), and
uniforms.
11. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Process cont..
We also provided technical support to schools to
develop and implement policies and procedures to
prevent and respond to violence against children.
o This enhanced retention in school
We worked with 50 young persons (15-24) to reach
out to children doing exploitative work and their
families with anti-harmful work messages.
We strengthened two child labour monitoring
committees through training and facilitating them to
conduct their duties.
We organized exposure visits for relevant government
bodies and CBO leaders to successful child labour
free zones
12. Protecting the children,
securing the future
Process cont..
We undertook advocacy with children at district
level targeting key decision makers to fast track
the implementation of relevant laws and policies
towards declaring the targeted areas child labour
free zones.
We established coalitions of 20 (10 per zone )
CSOs to advocate for policy change, clearer
guidelines for parents, schools, police and
schools to implement policies and procedures to
protect children from violence
We supported children’s initiatives in schools to
encourage their colleagues to stay in school
13. Protecting the children,

Process ctd
through the letter link boxes strategy. Here, in
school children write letters on various issues
affecting them and drop them in boxes which are
located in appropriate spaces for support.
Trained community conversations facilitators to
conduct ongoing CC sessions to address child
labor
14. Protecting the children,
securing the future
What has worked
Two promising practices 1. Use of the CC Model and
the Letter Link Boxes. I will talk about one:-
Using Community Conversation Meetings to sensitize
communities on child harmful child work/ labor
o The model has proved to be economic, community
issues driven and hence sustainable
15. Protecting the children,

Community cont..
CCs have brought
adults and children
together to dialogue &
explore the
underlying causes of
exploitative child
work/labor in in their
environment and
generate local
solutions to address
the problem.

What has worked
CCM fitted well in the concept of child labour free
zone since it involved every community members,
including children and sweepingly cleared
communities of harmful child work/labour .
o It has worked as the most efficient and effective
tool for community mobilization and child
empowerment.
It enabled us to hinge on indigenous knowledge
base to engage communities in the campaign against
harmful child work/labour while at the same time
teach children roles and socialize them into
responsible adults
19. Protecting the children,
securing the future
What has worked
ctd…
We are very optimistic that with the changes in
attitudes and behavior on child labour and
involvement of children in decision making on
issues affecting them, we are noticing in these
two communities, a long lasting solution to
addressing harmful child work/labor in these two
communities is eminent
