HIV/AIDS And Working Children in Nepal
|
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that in Nepal (1) increasing numbers of children are being driven into the labour market by the HIV infections and deaths of their parents, and (2) that working children have a high risk of contracting HIV. This growing double scenario of Nepali children affected by the HIV infections and deaths of their parents (HIV-affected children), and children who are at risk of infection or are already infected (HIV-infected children), poses a challenge to child labour programming.
While there is limited statistical evidence in Nepal to support these assumptions, it should be stated that evidence from other countries indicates that there is a link between HIV/AIDS and child labour. Currently, the National HIV/AIDS Strategy does not address this issue.
