The global campaign “Dialogue Works” is organized by child-rights organizations Kindernothilfe and Terre des Hommes Germany with funding from the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The project builds upon the previous campaign called “It´s Time to Talk!” promoting working children’s right to be heard in decisions that concern them.
In collaboration with partner organizations, the Dialogue Works project is implemented in 15 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. In Lebanon, a number of CBOs including AMURT Lebanon is supporting implementation of the Dialogue Works project.
Dialogue Works aims to increase spaces and opportunities for working children to express their views and to participate in dialogues with adults who have responsibilities to improve the lives of children. It is intended that dialogue between working children and adults can take place at different levels, from local to global levels, so that adults have increased understanding of children’s experiences and ideas, and that they act on children’s suggestions to improve practices and policies affecting working children and their families.
The project will be implemented by supporting Children’s Advisory Committees (CACs), groups of working children that meet regularly on the local level to promote working children´s right to participation. Children’s Advisory Committees will be supported to plan and implement action and advocacy dialogues to improve the lives of working children in their own countries.
Dialogue Works provides that all partners of the Campaign develop a Country Situation Analysis on child labour and children’s participation in the first months of the project. The Analysis helps the CACs to formulate their own political demands, to strengthen their evidence-based advocacy and targeted advocacy efforts and to identify strategic entry points for working children to participate, etc.
