GIRL ASIA AGRICULTUREsmlToday, 1 in 10 of the world’s children - 160 million - are still being forced to work and are denied their right to education and childhood. 

2021 is the UN Year for the Elimination of Child Labour, yet due to staggering levels of global inequality, exacerbated by the unequal response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of children and young people being forced to work has risen for the first time in two decades. 

Child labour is not inevitable. It is the direct result of unjust political decision-making that impacts the world’s most vulnerable children. We know how to end child labour and the world has the means to make it happen. Enough is enough: it is time to ensure every child is learning in school, not working to survive

 

 

That’s why we are uniting as child labour surviviors, the world’s largest representative student unions, and the 100 Million campaign to invite student leaders across the world to host an event and campaign side-by-side with child labour survivor advocates to demand action.

Through a live video connection, we hope these events will build meaningful bonds of international solidarity between students and survivors to stand against this injustice together

Ending child labour is deeply interconnected with the fight for education access and equality. With children and young people engaged in child labour either denied the opportunity to attend school, likely to drop out early or attempt to combine their education with excessively long and heavy work. As student unions and associations, defenders of the right to a quality education for all, we feel strongly that it is our responsibility to unite with survivors in support of an end to this injustice.

REPORT: END DISCRIMINATION, END CHILD LABOUR

Youth activists are showing their anger in the new 100 Million report, End Discrimination, End Child Labour. Why is it that wealthy countries can eliminate child labour but they can't realise the right to freedom for every child in the rest of the world? We know that child labour ends when every child has access to safety nets like universal child income, education, and health care. And the world can afford it: in just four years, over 16 million more 5-11 year-olds entered child labour, but at the same time, global wealth increased by $10 trillion. This is a deep injustice perpetuated by multiple levels of discrimination, for generations. We want to end this: find out how and download the report.
