“…Importantly, findings are not significant in some countries because the prevalence of past-year violence is high for both boys and girls in the VACS overall, irrespective of work status [ 44 ]. Taken together, these findings underscore the importance of considering age and gender when exploring links between work and violence and of workplaces as key sites for violence prevention [ 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

Globally, 497 million young people (15–24 years) are in the labour force. The current research on work and violence indicates reciprocal links across the life course. This study draws on data from 35,723 young people aged 13–24 years in the Violence Against Children Surveys (VACS) in nine countries to describe the epidemiology of work in order to explore associations between (1) current work and violence and (2) childhood violence and work in a hazardous site in young adulthood. The prevalence of past-year work among 13–24-year-olds was highest in Malawi: 82.4% among young men and 79.7% among young women. In most countries, young women were more likely to be working in family or domestic dwellings (range: 23.5–60.6%) compared to men (range: 8.0–39.0%), while men were more likely to be working on a farm. Work in a hazardous site was higher among young men compared to women in every country. Among children aged 13–17 years, we found significant positive associations between past-year work and violence among girls in three countries (aORs between 2.14 and 3.07) and boys in five countries (aORs 1.52 to 3.06). Among young people aged 18–24 years, we found significant positive associations among young women in five countries (aORs 1.46 to 2.61) and among young men in one country (aOR 2.62). Associations between childhood violence and past-year work in a hazardous site among 18–24-year-olds were significant in one country among girls and in three countries among boys. Continued efforts are needed to prevent hazardous work, improve work environments, and integrate violence prevention efforts into workplaces.

“…In a study in Uganda, two in five young people had experienced workplace violence in the past year [ 21 ]. In particular, child labour increases the risk of experiencing violence and exploitation [ 22 , 23 , 24 ], alongside adverse health [ 25 ] and education outcomes [ 26 ].…”

“…Morar sozinho ou com um dos pais foi um fator de risco, enquanto trabalhar em casa, ser do sexo masculino e ser mais velho foram os fatores protetores dos abusos sofridos no trabalho. Os autores concluíram que devem ser feitas intervenções precoces para proporcionar ambientes de trabalho menos prejudiciais para as crianças trabalhadoras; além disso, devem ser prosseguidos os esforços de advocacia para prevenir e eliminar o trabalho infantil (14) .…”

“…In the context of advocacy for “working street children” in Iran today, increasing poverty 3 has displaced more and more young people from their rural homes as they move to find work in urban settings 4 . More than half of Iran's working children live in the capital city of Tehran (Jalili Moayad et al, 2021), where I carried out the majority of my fieldwork, and more than seventy percent of that figure are Afghan children (Rahbari, 2016). In Tehran, there is a sprawling network of NGOs and civic groups serving the needs of displaced youth.…”

This article explores the implications of the Making Home Project, a participatory audio‐visual media project with migrant and refugee youth in Iran. This project does not picture the faces of youth as they express caring relationships and attachments to the people and places within the migrant neighborhoods where they reside—places locally characterized as poor, dangerous, and transient. I examine the audio, the visual and the off‐screen encounters of this participatory production to demonstrate how media outcomes are shaped by Afghan youth's differently situated refugee experiences in Iran. Ultimately, I argue that space and place are actualized through the embodied act of youth expressing and producing audio‐visual media about their homeplace.
