Lesson 4 : Millennium Development Goals and Child Protection

Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability

Environmental disasters increase household vulnerability, which in turn increase the pressure for child labour, as well as sexual exploitation, child marriage and trafficking of children. Overcrowding of neighbourhoods and homes can put severe strains on environmental resources, which can lead to violence or sexual abuse in the home.
