The Quezon City local government announced on Saturday, Oct. 1, that it has convened a local task force to protect minors from forced labor and abuse.
The local government unit anticipates more children involved in labor exploitation as the Christmas season nears. It also revealed that the majority of children were residents of other cities. “Dahil sa hirap ng buhay, napipilitan ang ilang kabataan na ilaan ang kanilang oras sa pagtatrabaho imbes na sa pag-aaral. Narito ang pamahalaang lungsod para alalayan at suportahan ang kanilang pamilya sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng iba-ibang tulong at serbisyo ,” Belmonte said.
Among the task force’s target-specific programs and interventions are city-wide profiling of street children and their families, and developing a referral system to streamline communication with relevant agencies such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development , non-government organizations as well as with the other LGUs where the street children came from.
