Ep 20 - World Day against Child Labour
In early 2020, the International Labour Organisation estimated that 160 million children of which are 63 million girls and 97 million boys – were involved in child labour, accounting for almost 1 in 10 children worldwide. Child labour is child abuse and is just plain wrong. Every child deserves to learn, play, be happy and feel safe. Together, we must end child labour.
Join Fairtrade Australia's campaign to end child labour in the chocolate we're eating, the clothes you're wearing, the coffee you're drinking.
