#TheClockisTicking, join the international movement for immediate action against child labour.
In 2015, 193 world leaders agreed to end child labour by 2025 according to the Sustainable Development Goals. However, every day 160 million children are still working, the first increase in decades. #TheClockisTicking with only three years left. It’s about time for world leaders to amplify their efforts to protect children from child labour. Sign the petition now.
