Creating Conversations and Solving Grievances

Young Power in Social Action (YPSA), a partner on the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) funded Child Labor Improvements in Bangladesh (CLIMB) project, established a Grievance Coordination Team (GCT) in August 2020 to resolve grievances raised by children working in child labor, family members, and the community in the dried fish sector (DFS). To ensure the GCT had the capacity to address cases brought to their attention, CLIMB offered several capacity development trainings to selected stakeholder on the procedures, laws and policies related to grievance settlement. The GCT is comprised of 15 volunteer members selected from the civil society, lawyers, journalists and public representatives of Cox`s Bazar. The members are well respected, and their judgements are honored by the community.
