CWC’S VISION
"A sustainable and ecologically balanced world where all children are respected citizens and abled protagonists, who realise, experience and practise all their rights through their participation in equitable partnership with adults to establish and maintain together a secular, equitable, just, non- discriminatory world."
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF CWC WAS TO DEVELOP A PROGRAMME WHICH WOULD HAVE A SUSTAINABLE IMPACT ON THE ISSUE
In order to achieve this, CWC works with local governments, community and working children themselves to implement viable, comprehensive, sustainable and appropriate solutions in partnership with all the major actors, so that children do not have to work. It empowers working children so that they may be their own first line of defence and participate in an informed manner in all decisions concerning themselves.
CWC upholds the following concerns as central to any action aspiring to improve the quality of life of working children:
- All actions should be child centered and in the best interest of working children. Interventions should have a positive short term and long-term effect, first and foremost on the children themselves.
- All interventions should improve the quality of life for children, their families and their communities.
- The immediate and long-term impact of all actions on 'working children' have to be monitored and assessed. It should be mandatory that such mechanisms are set up before any intervention is implemented.
- Organised representation of working children and their protagonism has to be recognised and respected. No decisions or actions which have an impact on working children should be taken without consulting them
