Activities

Save the Children has supported research to understand the issues surrounding migration, trafficking and street children and is working to promote ‘safe migration’. This means raising awareness of the dangers of trafficking with children and young people in the remote minority ethnic communities and with their parents, local authorities and community leaders. We are also helping to build networks that migrants can turn to when they arrive in their destinations. With partners, we have produced a ‘safe migration’ textbook for school children that has been adopted by the education bureau in Ping Xiang, Guangzi province. We are also developing child protection work including establishing children’s activity centers in some cities with large migrant communities, such as Nanning, Kunming, Shenzhen and Shanghai.

Government street children protection centres are the main provision for street children. We have supported several centres in training their staff on children’s rights, protection and participation. Having jointly facilitated research led by street children, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has involved us in developing the first National Aid and Protection Regulation for Street Children.
