One World Week 2001. DEFY - Development Education for Youth. One World Week is a week of youth-led awareness raising, education and action that takes place throughout Ireland during the third week in November every year. During One World Week youth leaders, community workers, teachers, development workers, students and young people throughout Ireland learn about local and global justice issues and take action to bring about change. Co-ordinated by DEFY, One World Week has been growing as an annual focus for development education in the youth sector, and in schools and other organisations, since 1985. During One World Week, groups all over the country do activities from the DEFY One World Week activity pack. Some groups organise public events, quizzes and debates, invite guest speakers or have multicultural evenings. Many groups publicly display the work they have done in preparation for One World Week, or lead other people in doing a public action. Many join in the DEFY co-ordinated One World Week campaign, which in 2001 will focus on Child Labour. The International Labour organisation estimates that there are approximately 120 million children around the world between the ages of five and fourteen working full-time. The single most important factor in explaining why children are forced to work in developing countries is poverty. For many destitute parents trapped in poverty the employment of their children may be the only option they have left. Demand for children's work plays a crucial role as also. Children are cheaper to employ, they are less aware of their rights, less likely to complain about monotonous work and bad conditions and are less likely to be absent. The vast majority of children work in agriculture. Girls are especially at risk working longer hours than boys with a consequent effect on school attendance and completion. An increasing and alarming problem is the trafficking of children across national borders for prostitution and begging as well as for work on plantations and domestic service. One World Week 2001 through activities and simulation games will seek to raise awareness around these issues, and develop local and national strategies for dealing with the complexities involved. A resource pack will be developed over the coming months for use with youth leaders in training workshops beginning in September. For further information as it becomes available or to organise a workshop in your area please contact DEFY tel 01-4750826 or info@defy.ie
