Let's Act on our Commitments: End Child Labour, 12 June 2024 Honoured to have taken part in the high-level side event organized by the ILO during the 112th Session of the International Labour Conference, at the fringes of the Recurrent Item Discussion on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, to celebrate 25 years since the adoption of ILO Convention No. 182. This event was enhanced by the presence of ILO's Director General, Mr Gilbert Houngbo, and Nobel Peace Prize Kailash Satyarthi, among others. Congratulations on Morocco's announcement of its interest to host the next Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour to be held in 2026 made by H.E. Min. Younes Sekkouri, Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Enterprise, Employment and Skills, following an informative intervention underscoring Morocco's significant progress, challenges encountered and determination to put an end to the scourge of child labour, in a global context of reversal, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. Let us remember that a commitment was made by the international community, with the adoption of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 8.7, to the elimination of child labour in all its forms by 2025.  The Durban Call to Action, adopted by delegates following the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour in 2022, shows the way and 2026 will be a decisive moment to reverse current worrying trends and explore the experiences of countries that have been more successful and can share lessons. #EndChildLabour #ILO FUNDAMENTALS #Alliance8.7

Today is World Day Against Child Labour. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the adoption of ILO Convention No.182 on Child Labour, which was the first universally ratified ILO Convention. It requires countries to take immediate, effective and time-bound measures to eliminate the worst forms of child labour. ILO states that even though much progress has been made in reducing child labour since the enactment of the Convention, recent years have shown this trend to reverse, with child labour increasing again. This makes it even more important than in recent years to jointly advocate for an end to child labour in all its forms. The international community committed to ending child labour by 2025 by adopting the SDGs. We urge CSOs and politicians alike to continue to advocate for the end of child labour.

"LET'S ACT ON OUR COMMITMENTS : END CHILD LABOUR" This year's World Day will focus on celebrating the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (1999, No. 182). It also presents an opportunity to remind all stakeholders to improve their implementation of the two fundamental Conventions on child labour - Convention No. 182 and Convention No. 138 concerning the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment or Work (1973). Although significant strides have been taken in reducing child labour over time, recent years have seen global trends reverse, underscoring the pressing need to unite efforts in expediting actions to eradicate child labour in all its manifestations. With the adoption of Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7, the international community made a commitment to the elimination of child labour in all its forms by 2025. Now is the time to make the elimination of child labour a reality! This World Day Against Child Labour, June 12, 2024, we are calling for: The effective implementation of the ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour; Reinvigorated national, regional and international action to end child labour in all of its forms, including worst forms, through adopting national policies and addressing root causes as called upon in the 2022 Durban Call to Action; Universal ratification and effective implementation of ILO Convention No. 138 on the Minimum Age, which, together with the universal ratification of ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour achieved in 2020, would provide all children with legal protection against all forms of child labour. #Copied - United Nations . . . All of these information will be useless of you as an individual don't act in your little corner to eradicate child labour. The commit to protect our children starts NOW!!! #Endchildlabour #Allagainstchildlabour #AfricaUniteagainstCL

This year's World Day Against Child Labour marks 25 years since the adoption of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (No. 182) in 1999. It's a solemn reminder for all stakeholders to strengthen efforts in implementing the two core ILO Conventions on child labour - No. 182 and No. 138 on Minimum Age for Employment. While progress has been made in reducing child labour over time, recent years have seen a reversal of this trend globally. This underscores the urgent need for united action to eradicate child labour in all its forms. With the 2030 Agenda's Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7, the international community committed to eliminating all child labour by 2025. That target is now less than a year away. Now is the time to turn our commitment into reality and end child labour for good! #EndChildLabour #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour
