A/HRC/17/33/Add.4
87.
The Special Rapporteur reminds the Government that migrant children,
especially those that are unaccompanied, are most exposed to the worst forms of child
labour and, in this context, recalls the relevance of the International Labour
Organization Convention concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the
Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour, 1999 (No. 182) and relevant
Recommendation No. 190, and their implementation framework.
88.
Finally, the Special Rapporteur encourages the Government of South Africa, in
its implementation of programmes, to provide unaccompanied migrant children with
comprehensive support and protection, including means to identify those who are
vulnerable and in need of international protection. Protection services should include
access to food, health care and legal advice; support for return to the community of
origin; professional and vocational training; and the pursuit of durable solutions in
the case of refugee children. These programmes should also include reproductive
sexual health awareness and training to address psychological trauma.
