Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South-Eastern Asia (CLARISSA) was a five-year, Action Research programme which generated evidence-informed, innovative solutions by children to avoid hazardous, exploitative labour in Bangladesh and Nepal.

Chain Reaction is a film that explores the CLARISSA programme’s ground-breaking participatory Action Research approach.

Nepal

In Nepal, CLARISSA worked with children and small business owners in five locations in Kathmandu where there is a high concentration of children working in the worst forms of child labour in the Adult Entertainment Sector (AES).

Bangladesh

CLARISSA’s work in Bangladesh focussed on Dhaka slum neighbourhoods and communities linked to leather supply-chains and included a highly innovative social protection intervention to reduce children’s involvement in hazardous work and the worst forms of child labour.
