On 12 June, to mark the World Day Against Child Labour, we will discuss with global, regional, and country-level partners about collective actions to reverse this alarming trend.
FAO Brussels Briefing in collaboration with ILO: Together to end child labour in agrifood value chains
It is an alarming fact that 70 percent of children engaged in child labour worldwide – 112 million – are working in agriculture. Their work goes beyond the limits of safety and well-being and crosses into a form of labour that can harm their health and undermine their education, perpetuating poverty and food insecurity.
On 12 June, to mark the World Day Against Child Labour, we will discuss with global, regional and country-level partners about collective actions to reverse this alarming trend, through a focus on child labour elimination along agrifood value chains. Participants will share experiences, successful practices and concrete interventions towards the implementation of the Durban Call to Action and the achievement of SDG 8.7. It will also be a contribution to the Supply Chains Action Group of Alliance 8.7.
When: 12 June, 11:00-12:30 (CEST)
