Side Event 3 - Youth, student and survivor-led action to end child labour by 2025

The session discusses how young people, student leaders, and survivor advocates have been on the frontlines of the effort to eliminate child labour in Africa and globally, uniting across communities and countries to defend every child’s right to freedom, safety, and education. It also explores the interconnected role universal social protection, ambitious policymaking and sustainable financing play in ending child labour and why the meaningful engagement of young people, students, and survivor-advocates is critical to achieving this change. 

Youth activists, students and survivor-advocates are strong leaders in the global movement to end child labour and this event will hear their experiences, ideas and demands for ambitious action from decision-makers to prevent the loss of a generation.
