The Philippines: Self-help Groups of Street Children in Davao City In the poor districts of Davao City/Mindanao – the barangays Conference organised by the EU – low levels of formal education, unstable family relations, and violence and abuse in all their forms dominate the living conditions of children and young people. In response, many children and young people staying at home or living on the streets are members of street groups, which provide protection and a reliable social network. Terre des Hommes (Ger- many) partner TAMBAYAN supports and protects children, especially girls, living on the streets of Davao City. Besides providing basic services such as health care and psychosocial counselling, TAMBAYAN empowers street groups to con- vert into self-help groups taking collective action to protect themselves against violence and abuse, as well as to promote their rights. So far this group-oriented approach has proved successful: TAMBAYAN assists five self-help groups which now form the street children’s alliance NAKAMATA. This alliance has already gained public recognition and is en-

Children on the Move Child Mobility in Asia

With the support of the Oak Foundation, TDHIF organised Trafficked, unaccompanied, migrant, street, displaced, ref- two workshops with local partners in South and Southeast ugee, nomadic, across the world millions of children are on Asia to deepen understanding about child mobility in the the move. “Children on the move” refers to children who region and to share experience and best practices on how have left their place of habitual residence and are either to address it. One of the outcomes of these workshops is a on the way towards a new destination, or have already Handbook3 designed to help organisations which already reached such a destination. have experience of protecting children from exploitation or other forms of abuse, to assess whether they are using the A child can move across State borders, or within a country. most appropriate methods.

The Handbook is currently being field tested and will be finalised by the end of 2011. There is an ongoing debate on whether mobility increases children’s vulnerability. Children are especially exposed because they move to a place where they do not know who to turn to for help, and where they might even be seen as not worth helping. At the same time, individual children and entire families may also move because they are looking for opportunities. Some will find these opportunities and will be pleased to have moved, others will not. The negative or positive outcome of the movement also depends on the circumstances in which it takes place, and on the level of protection and support people experience while they are on the road.

New technologies play an increasingly important role in human mobility, and so do other factors such as urbanisation or natural disasters. Children being on the move is likely to become a phenomenon on the increase, and therefore TDHIF is planning to take it as a major focus, especially as it can capi- talise on the outcomes of ten years of successful campaigning to stop child trafficking. In total the Terre des Hommes organisations run 135 projects relating to children on the move, in 40 countries, worth more than 23 million euros.

Thailand: For the Respect of the Rights of Migrant Workers Terre des Hommes (France) supports a three-year programme run by FED-GHRE (Foundation for Education and Development – Grassroots Human Rights Education) and People’s Empowerment in three regions of the country. It aims to promote the respect of the rights of Burmese migrant workers living in Thailand who, despite their active participation in the economy of the country, are considered as

Advocacy work with the authorities, and networking have been enhanced, and after two years of presence in Mae Sot, FED-GHRE is already considered a reference NGO in the region. Thanks to the three centres which are open to workers, for training and counselling in legal matters, the Burmese community has enhanced its capacity to obtain reparation for the violations of human rights to which they have been subjected.
