The Hard Labour website includes research findings that will aid understanding about how we can end the worst forms of child labour. The words and phrases used by research participants have not been changed; this ensures that we accurately reflect the information and insights of those with lived experience.  Child labour is often a sensitive topic and discretion is often valued by the people who hire children, and by the children themselves. For example, children working in massage and spa venues in Nepal often use the generic term ‘services’ to refer to the activities that they undertake. Whilst some may be describing massage therapy only, some children will use “services” to describe child sexual exploitation. We have not changed their wording. CLARISSA consortium partners do not condone any of the worst forms of child labour.
