Consultants to support the development of the post graduate textbooks on children's rights, prevention and elimination of child labour and elimination of forced labour to support teaching human rights in Law School

The ILO Project, Enhancing National Capacity to Prevent and Reduce Child Labour in Viet Nam (ENHANCE) has been providing technical support to the Government to strengthen efforts to tackle child labour since 2015, in partnership with the Ministry of Labour Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), with funding from the US Department of Labour (USDOL). The Project’s overall development objective is to build a comprehensive and efficient multi-stakeholder response for the prevention and reduction of child labour in Viet Nam, placing capacity building for sustainable solutions at the heart of its interventions. 

2020, the University of Law - Hanoi National University undertook a crucial task of compiling and publishing a textbook titled "Children's Rights and Child Labor" to serve the School's Master of Laws Program on Human Rights. The book, which has been provided to lecturers, graduate students and PhD students of the University of Law - Hanoi National University since 2020, has been well received and highly appreciated. However, some of the book's content is outdated and required to be updated and supplemented. Moreover, the book only addresses the issues of children's rights and child labour but does not yet mention about the forced labour.

The above situation poses a need to update the book on children’s rights and tackling child labour which was developed in 2020 with the support of the ILO/ENHANCE project, and make it into two separate books to ensure more comprehensive contents; and also to compile a new book on forced labour for promoting and support of training, education and research on children's rights, prevention and elimination of child labour and elimination of forced labour in relation to teaching human rights in relevant Vietnamese universities.

To this end, the ENHANCE Project is seeking a group of consultants to support the development of the above-mentioned textbooks for postgraduate education at the University of Law – University of Hanoi national University as in the Attached TOR.
