 GLOBAL MARCH AGAINST
CHILD LABOUR
The global march against child labor came
about in 1998, following the significant
response concerning the desire to end
child labor. It was a grassroots
movement that motivated many
individuals and organizations to come
together and fight against child labor
and not an annual march.
The main goals of this movement were to:
"Protect and promote the rights of all children, especially
the rights to receive free, meaningful education"[1]
"To be free from economic exploitation and from
performing any work that is likely to be damaging to a
child's physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social
development". The march was very successful and it
achieved its purpose by allowing changes to occur with
the policies of child labor with the International Labor
Organization (ILO)[1]
The United Nations declared 2021 as the International
Year for the Elimination of Child Labor.

Conclusion
 Conclusion
Child labor is a serious problem that has many negative consequences for children. It
deprives them of their childhood, education, and health. It also exposes them to
exploitation and abuse. We must all work together to end child labor and ensure that all
children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Here are some specific ways to end child labor:

Enact and enforce laws that prohibit child labor. This includes laws that set a minimum
age for employment, prohibit hazardous work, and regulate working hours.
Provide free education and other social services to poor families. This will help to reduce
the need for children to work.
Create economic opportunities for families so that they do not need to rely on child labor.
This can be done through job creation programs, microcredit loans, and other initiatives.
Raise awareness about the problem of child labor. This can be done through public
education campaigns, training for employers and workers, and other activities.
Ending child labor is a complex challenge, but it is one that we must all work together to
address. By taking action, we can help to ensure that all children have the opportunity to
grow up healthy, educated, and free from exploitation.
