 No person shall employ a child under the age of fourteen years  A child of fourteen years may only be employed to do light work, which is not likely to be harmful to the child’s health and development.  No person shall employ a person under the age of 18 years in hazardous form of work for example in a mine, factory or a crew on a ship  It is prohibited to employ children under the age of 18 years to night work. In Zanzibar, labour laws are slightly different. They state that no child under 12 shall be employed except for light work; no person under the age of 18 years shall be employed in any employment that is injurious to his health, dangerous or immoral; a child under the age of 16 years shall not be employed in a mine. The Zanzibar Constitution has set the age for paid employment at 18 years. The law governing child labour is the Employment of Children, Young Persons and Adolescent (Restriction) Decree and a Labour Act of 1997. Zanzibar has reviewed its labour laws under the auspices of the SLAREA Project being implemented in collaboration with ILO. The Committee observes that even though Employment and Labour Relations Act, 2004, prohibits children under the age of 18 years in hazardous conditions that are harmful to the child’s health and development (like bars, mines, factory or as crew on a ship, or in any other worksite including non-formal settings and agriculture), employment of children (especially girls) as bar maids (waitresses) is rampant in many places in the State Party. The Committee urge the State Party to adequately protect children from all forms of economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous to interfere with the child’s physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or social development as provided for in Article 15 of the ACRWC. The Committee observes that allthese laws remain contrary to the provisions of Article 2 of the ACRWC, which defines a child as ‘every human being below the age of 18’. 6
