Meaningful Efforts:

• Worked with international organizations to expand school access to children vulnerable to labor exploitation.
• Sustained or expanded child labor investigations, despite budgetary challenges.
• Conducted specialized trainings for law enforcement officials on children’s rights and child trafficking.

Challenges and Existing Gaps:

• Legal and enforcement gaps that leave children working in the informal sector with limited protection.
• Insufficient number of labor inspectors to ensure compliance with labor laws.
• Lack of published data on labor law enforcement efforts.
