Call for Junior Consultant - Mapping Children’s Migration Journey with Parents Recruited into the Construction Sector
Organization Background
Baan Dek Foundation (BDF) is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious organization based in Bangkok & Chiang Mai. BDF supports access to essential services for more than 1,500 vulnerable children and their families living in construction sites and slums. Through specifically tailored educational programs and flexible individual support, Baan Dek Foundation protects endangered children, enables families to become self-sustainable and provides opportunities for a better future.
Project Background
In Thailand there are estimated to be around 60,000 migrant children living in construction site camps, who, due to their parent’s often precarious and irregular employment, tend to lack access to essential services. As BDF works to bring systemic change to the construction sector to improve children’s well-being, it is important to understand the full extent of children and parents’ migration journey before they arrive at a construction site camp, the gaps in policy and service, where and when they receive or do not receive identity documents, who they interact with etc. As safe migration initiatives begin to look more closely at the role of the recruitment process in improving migrant’s well-being, it is necessary to also factor in the place of children in this process. BDF are therefore commissioning the mapping of the child protection risks along the labor migration route.
Consultancy Objective
In order to produce this mapping, BDF is seeking a consultant to conduct a literature review to map the journey, as well as the main protection risks that children face, be it family separation, child sexual exploitation, abuse or child labor, of children migrating with their parents to the Thai construction sector and then to summarize in a more visual format (eg. a roadmap style format) the potential child rights risks at each potential stage of the migration journey (this roadmap may fork into potential pathways). Visual design skills are not necessary for this role, the visual product can be more of a sketch or flowchart for candidates without design software skills, as the main deliverable is the literature review and knowledge content.
The desk review should draw upon and summarize studies, reports, and academic papers in the last 6 years covering migration from Myanmar and Cambodia into Thailand, trafficking and exploitation of migrant children entering Thailand. The desk review should be no less than 15 pages and no more than 25 pages.
