UN75 Consultation on Child Labor online meeting - CIVITAS-STL

UN75 Consultation on Child Labor online meeting

We’ve partnered with the local UNA Chapter of St. Louis to bring an amazing experience to teachers, students, and other interested people. On April 25th, there will be an online meeting with guest speakers and small breakouts about child labor in our area. This is a free event but you do need to sign up at the link below.

The United Nations turns 75 in 2020. We need need you to be part of our global conversation to make recommendations to make our world a better place. Your voice counts!

According to the ILO (International Labour Organization), worldwide 218 million children between ages 5 and 17 are in employment. Among them, 152 million are victims of child labor. Almost half of them, 73 million, work in hazardous child labor. 

This consultation discusses the underlying issues of child labor and steps to mitigate its abuse. Hear from thought leaders on this topic and learn what actions we can take as citizens to address these challenges. A report will be written as a result of this dialogue to share with the United Nations system. #UN75
