Our work

CP-TING Project performs its activities in the following areas:

 

In sending provinces:

  • Reducing the school drop-out rate of girls under 16 years old, to improve their future employment opportunities;
  • Working with girls and young women at high risk of being victimized and the communities in which they live, warning them of the dangers of unprepared and ill-informed migration, and encouraging their direct participation in creating local solutions;
  • Paying special attention to the needs of unskilled girls and young women - in particular those who have dropped out of school prematurely, as they are more vulnerable to being lured into unacceptable work;
  • Raising awareness of the risks of trafficking and HIV-AIDS, protection measures and legal literacy in pre-departure life-skills training to prospective migrant girls (aged 16 and over) and young women.

 

In receiving provinces:

  • Protecting the labour rights of all migrant workers - including the adoption of minimum standards for employment contracts, training and information, and the provision of support services;
  • Campaigning for proper treatment of migrant workers and recognition of the benefits they bring to urban areas;
  • Improving access to social services in urban areas for migrant girls and young women in need;
  • Working with workers' and employers' organizations to offer decent jobs to migrant girls/women (aged 16-24) and monitoring of working conditions.

 

In all provinces and nationally:

  • Working towards conceptual clarity on trafficking in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Transnational Crime Convention's Optional Protocol on trafficking, and ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour;
  • Disaggregating, by age and sex, and fully analyzing existing data to support focused policy initiatives;
  • Documenting lessons learned from pilot projects to improve policy frameworks at national, provincial and local levels;
  • Promoting managed migration for employment purposes, including bilateral cooperation agreements between sending and receiving provinces;
  • Free information and job placement services targeting prospective migrant workers above 15 years of age (see www.womenldl.com.cn);
  • Supervision of recruitment and contracting agencies for migrant workers.
