ARTICLE 32
Freedom from Child Labour
WHAT IS ARTICLE 32?
The child has the right to be protected from work that threatens his or her health, education or development. The State shall set minimum ages for employment and shall regulate working conditions.
CHILD LABOUR
An estimated 246 million children are engaged in child labour. Nearly 70 per cent (171 million) of these children work in hazardous conditions – including working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or with dangerous machinery
Educate
It is critical to improve a child's
awareness of their fundamental human rights, as well as
to enhance their employment opportunities later in life
Laws & Regulations
Governments must pass laws to prevent
child labour. Companies must adopt laws preventing children from
being involved in manufacturing goods
Reduce Poverty
Poverty reduction means parents are not forced to
send their children to work or sell them to employers in order to survive
Raise Awareness
The world must stay informed about the
injustices of child labour. We must raise awareness of exploited
children and work towards giving them a better future
