Focus on

  1. 2021 is the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour

    We are making progress. Child labour has decreased by 38% in the last decade. But, 152 million children are still in child labour. It’s time to accelerate the pace of progress. It’s time to inspire legislative and practical actions to eliminate child labour for good. Everyone can make a difference; individuals can make personal choices. Individuals have power when they work together in a coordinated global movement. It’s time to end child labour.

  2. ILO COOP 100 (2020) - Special Interview Series
