Zoom Seated on a train platform, five-year-old Kiara counts money made from selling goods on the commuter train in Buenos Aires, the capital. She has been working in the Subte, the city’s mass transit system, selling hairpins and other cheap goods, since she was three years old. Five members of Kiara’s family work in the Subte; they give the money to her grandmother. A year ago, Kiara broke her arm when it was caught in a train door. She has also fallen onto the train tracks while playing. [#5 IN SEQUENCE OF NINE] In January 2011 in Argentina, some seven per cent of children between the ages of five and 14 are engaged in some form of labour. While child poverty has dropped from 23.6 per cent to 17.1 per cent since 2009, inequality remains a barrier for many. The most disadvantaged are indigenous children, the children of migrants and poor adolescents living in marginalized urban settings. In Buenos Aires, the capital, groups of children work as vendors and beggars in the Subte, the city’s underground commuter rail system. While many work with their families from a young age, adolescents working in the Subte are exposed to gang activity and illicit drug use. Metrovias, the private operator of the Subte, supports PRANER (‘Programa de Asistencia a Niños en Riesgo’), a programme that supports the work of child-welfare NGOs and social workers to address child labour in the Subte. With PRANER’s assistance, social workers have reached an estimated 500 children and their families since 2001. UNICEF is also working closely with the Government to identify and address the needs of the most vulnerable children, and to promote the rights of children throughout the country.
