World Day Against Child Labour
Confederation of Trade Unions Myanmar issue a statement on World Day Against Child Labour (2020)
World Day Against Child Labour presents us with an important opportunity to stand united in the fight to end child labour. This year WDACL is drawing particular attention to the need to eliminate child labour and the impact of the Covid-19 health pandemic.

It must be understood that issues of health, education, poverty, decent work, gender equality, environmental health, social protection and peace are each part of an inter-related web that includes and directly affects child labour. It is our hope, that by acting collectively to help in processes of recovery, prevention and elimination of child labour, we can strengthen commitments to accelerate the eradication of child labour and the global realization targets 8.7 and 8.8 of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Today is a day we stand for children’s rights. Join us in the fight against child labour: stand with us today and every day that follows.
