The story of Bisayi is one of resilience and perseverance. Born in the Ntchisi District in Malawi, 17-year-old Bisayi dreamed of going to school since she was a little girl. However, reality was completely different, as she had to eventually drop out to work in the field and help her family make a living.
We interviewed Laura Criado Lafuente, the Deputy Country Director of CARE International in Malawi on gender equality and women empowerment.
Dr. Innocent Mugwagwa, the Executive Director of the ECLT Foundation, highlights the top 5 issues in the business and human rights space might face in 2023, particularly as they relate to child labour.
