The number of working children who are exposed to direct exploitation at work are 112 children.

The report that implemented in Sana'a within a project to combat exploitation, carried out by Seyaj and funded by the International Organization for Migration ( IOM ) included children who are working in workshops, boarding houses( Lukanda) and male hawkers.

The direct exploited children are exposed to physical, emotional, sexual exploitation and neglecting. The report also showed that most of the  exploitation stems from the parents as the number of orphaned children are 24 while the children that their parents are still alive are 167.

The report mentioned that the majority of children included in the monitoring left their education, where the number of dropouts from education are 154 while those who still studying are 37 of the total number .

The psychological indicator ( unwillingness to life) indicated that the number of children who have this indicator are 37 out of 101 who are working in enclosed places such as ( workshops- welding- plumbing- mechanic- car washing place- blacksmith- buffets- restaurants and boarding houses ( Lukanda) while 25 out of 90 who are working  in open places such as  streets have the undesired to live.

The report pointed that eight cases who were monitored need a legal intervention while 80 cases were provided a psychological support in  " We are listening to you service" in Seyaj. Ten children need  medical tests and treatments .

Moreover, 154 cases who dropped out from education need a referral to the Rehabilitation center for children workers to return to school to rehabilitate  them and their families to create a safe working environment for children.

Not to mention that the reason for the dropping out from school for the majority of children was the children's ignorance of their rights in general and their rights to education in particular also, the absence of guidance to go to school.

Seyaj plans to focus on girls workers in the next phase.
