MANILA - The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has successfully identified at least 1,400 victim-survivors of child labor in 2022 and was able to provide them with services and interventions suitable to their needs. These undertakings were implemented and facilitated by the agency's Strategic Help Desks for Information, Education, Livelihood, and other Developmental Interventions (SHIELD) against child labor. Through the SHIELD program, the child labor victims were given holistic and immediate interventions at the community level including the provision of educational assistance from the DSWD and case referrals to other government agencies. The program implementers from the different DSWD-Field Offices are using multi-layered strategies under the SHIELD program to help address child labor, particularly its worst forms. The components of this program include the establishment of helpdesks at the barangay level and a local registry system on child labor for referral
