Breaking the wall of Informality
The campaign’s main focus was the pressing need to break through the “wall of informality.” The majority of child labor is still hidden in unregulated industries where children are not protected by legal safeguards, accountability structures, or monitoring mechanisms. In order to end child labor and guarantee every kid’s right to safety, dignity, and opportunity, it is imperative that this obstacle be removed.
Key Messages
To transform pledges into actual child protection, strict implementation of current child labor legislation, bolstered by frequent inspections, is necessary.
Preventing child labor and keeping kids in school depend heavily on decent work, equitable pay, and safe working conditions for adults.
Child labor endangers children’s safety, education, and prospects for the future in a variety of settings, including rural agriculture, urban industries, and communities hit by natural disasters.
In order to detect hazards early and stop child labor through ethical business practices, supply chains must incorporate human rights due diligence.
Having access to high-quality education is still one of the best ways to protect children and end the cycle of exploitation.
