“When you have 61 million children who cannot relate to their parents, it is very traumatizing for a society”, said Sanna Johnson, Executive Director of the Center for Child Rights (CCR) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). However, this is the stark reality for approximately 69 million children in China who have been leftbehind in rural villages while their parents migrate to cities in search of work.

KEYWORDS
