The British Asian Trust has been working with business, government and civil society, to remove child labour from supply chains and encourage child labour free products in markets as part of the Child Labour Free Jaipur Initiative.
As a result of a partnership with the Freedom Fund and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, the first conviction resulting in a life sentence for a child trafficker in Jaipur was achieved in 2019 – a hugely significant milestone. Two further life sentences for child labour offenders have followed.
Over the next five years, the British Asian Trust plans to majorly grow its work in this area so as to substantially reduce child trafficking and abuse across India.
Katy said: ‘My work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador has taken me to many parts of the world and opened my eyes to the many vulnerabilities of children.
