Assessment Report on Child Labour in the Southwest region

Child labour and humanitarian crisis are intrinsically connected. The ongoing crisis in Cameroon NW/SW continues to increase violence, exploitation, and abuse against children. In the Southwest region, many children have been separated from their primary caregivers and most of them have become victims of different forms of exploitation. Evidence from child protection monitoring, Key informants, and focus groups discussions has highlighted the destabilization of functional family and community structures as a consequence of the crisis, thereby weakening the protective environment for children in this conflict affected communities.
