World Day Against Child Labour - 12 June 2018

This year, the World Day Against Child Labour (WDACL) Aligns with the World Day for Safety and Health at Work (SafeDay 28th April), it shines a spotlight on the global need to improve the safety and health of young workers and end child labour.

This joint campaign aims to accelerate action to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 8.8 of safe and secure working environments for all workers by 2030 and SDG target 8.7 of ending all forms of child labour by 2025 - that's no easy tasks.

Achieving these goals for the benefit of the next generation of the global workforce requires a concerted and integrated approach to eliminating child labour and promoting a culture of prevention on occupational safety health (OSH).

Going beyond just the day, Child Labor Free will be sharing during the week, Director and Staff insights to the work that has been achieved over the recent 4 years of operation, the challenges and set backs that only ensures we remain strong in our quest and highlights of the journey world free from Child Labor.

Join us here, on our blog and other social channels to celebrate the successes and further push the boundaies to achieve these goals.
