Why?
It’s time to collectively raise our hands and raise our voices. We have 3 years left to meet Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7 - end child labour in all its forms. And the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour is happening now!
Together, we can end child labour.
Raise your hand if you agree!
