Abstract

This paper explores policy and legislation aimed
at preventing, regulating, and abolishing harmful
children’s work in Ghana, and the political debates
and controversies surrounding these mechanisms.
The paper critically interrogates the successes
and challenges of previous and current policies
and interventions. It concludes that legislation and
interventions aimed at preventing hazardous or
harmful work should incorporate both the formal
legislative rights discourse and the informal,
traditional rights discourse to successfully navigate the political terrain, thereby accelerating attainment of common objectives
