  ["content"] =&gt; string(8142) "&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Over the next five days, we are sharing real stories of people whose lives are being positively impacted by business investment in worker wellbeing, child labour prevention and remediation and young worker support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;These are not just numbers in a report. They are the people behind global supply chains: their experiences, their challenges and the changes that responsible business action can make in their lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;From supporting working parents to helping children access education and ensuring young workers have safer opportunities, these stories show what tangible impact looks like and how businesses can be part of making it happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We start in Vietnam, where one mother&amp;#39;s experience shows how investing in family-friendly workplaces can make a difference, not only for workers, but for their children too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #E52F22;"&gt;When parents feel supported, children benefit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/public/uploads/images/20261108/8209d25897e16e525eb546a065959875.jpg" alt=""/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em style="color: rgb(127, 127, 127);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Photo: Huệ at her workplace at Akalia Vietnam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;For many working parents, the end of a shift does not mean the end of the working day. It means returning home to another set of responsibilities, often with little time or energy left to give their children the attention they need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;For Nguyễn Thị Huệ, a mother of two working at Akalia Vietnam, balancing work and family life was a daily challenge. Her husband lives and works elsewhere, and while her parents help care for the children, she often returned home feeling exhausted after a long day at the factory. She also lacked confidence in how best to support her children&amp;#39;s emotional and developmental needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/public/uploads/images/20261108/990f968f72897f5ab9914a93b97eae8b.jpg" alt=""/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; color: #7F7F7F;"&gt;Photo: Huệ’s mother with her two children&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Through The Centre&amp;#39;s &lt;a href="https://childrights-business.org/FamilyFriendlyWorkplacesWeCarePackage" target="_blank"&gt;WeCare Family-Friendly Workplaces programme&lt;/a&gt;, implemented at Akalia, Huệ took part in parenting training that helped her rethink how she interacts with her children. She learned the importance of being gentle and understanding, listening to her children and making time to show them love and affection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;These may seem like small changes, but they have made a meaningful difference to how she approaches motherhood. Huệ feels grateful to have gained practical knowledge that she can bring home to her family, and to feel supported by an initiative that recognises the challenges working parents face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Her experience is part of a wider programme at Akalia, a supplier to Under Armour, where workers and their families have benefited from a comprehensive range of activities since 2024. These include Basic Working Parent Training, Advanced Parent Training, Family Days, mental health sessions, maternity protection and support, sexual harassment prevention and dedicated support for young workers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; color: #7F7F7F;"&gt;&lt;img src="/public/uploads/images/20261108/e28ed8d8af19d2f6edfc7acc568094e7.jpg" alt=""/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; color: #7F7F7F;"&gt;Photo: Huệ during a WeCare parenting training session at her factory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Importantly, the programme is also building the factory&amp;#39;s own capacity to sustain this work. Through Training of Trainers (ToT), staff have developed the skills to deliver parenting sessions internally, helping ensure that support for working families can continue over the long term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #E52F22;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;What does this mean for businesses?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Family-friendly workplaces are not simply about supporting employees at work. They recognise that children&amp;#39;s wellbeing is closely connected to their parents&amp;#39; working conditions, time, knowledge and ability to provide care and emotional support at home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;section data-mpa-template="t" mpa-from-tpl="t" data-mpa-powered-by="yiban.io" style="white-space: normal;"&gt;&lt;section mpa-from-tpl="t" style="border: 4px solid rgb(229, 47, 34); border-radius: 12px; padding: 30px 20px; margin: 30px 10px; color: rgb(113, 113, 113); line-height: 28px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://childrights-business.org/public/uploads/images/20240906/q1.png" class="loadingclass" mpa-from-tpl="t" data-mpa-template="t" data-imgqrcoded="1" alt="q1.png" width="66" height="66" border="0" vspace="0" style="margin-left: 4px; height: 66px; width: 66px; float: left; margin-top: -50px;"/&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-wrap: wrap; font-size: 18px;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;I hope this programme will have a lasting impact on families, helping workers build a culture of sharing, equality and fairness, relieve mental pressure and support one another so they can gain knowledge together in raising their children to become useful members of society,” Huệ said.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://childrights-business.org/public/uploads/images/20240906/q2.png" class="data-mpa-template-img rich_pages wxw-img" mpa-from-tpl="t" data-mpa-template="t" data-imgqrcoded="1" alt="q2.png" width="66" height="66" border="0" vspace="0" style="float: right; margin-right: 4px; width: 66px; height: 66px;"/&gt;&lt;/section&gt;&lt;/section&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;As we mark World Children&amp;#39;s Day on November 20, we invite businesses to look at the people behind their supply chains and consider the positive difference they can make through sustained investment in worker and family wellbeing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width="900" height="600" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cWAebZdy6vA?si=tQZx7CwYCjHfJFrO" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visit our official&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #E52F22; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://youtube.com/@childrightsandbusiness?si=Imj84rUo69wQ4fj3" target="_blank"&gt;YouTube channel&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;"&gt;for more videos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"
