An Awareness Campaign against the Worst Forms of Child Labour Held in Kyrgyzstan

On 12 June 2016, students of Secondary School No. 94 in the Dordoi district of Bishkek, with support from the City Department of Education, took part in a sports event together with students from schools Nos. 94, 21, 43, and 87. The purpose of the event was to offer children an opportunity to call on the public to abandon the worst forms of child labor and replace them with a variety of alternative activities, such as education, sports, art, and others.

Also in Dordoi, young activists – volunteers of the Institute for Youth Development NGO, one of the campaign's partners – reached out to traders in the local Dordoi Market, a major marketplace in Bishkek, to explain the need to eradicate child labor and its negative implications for the child and society.
