Since the #SDGs launched in 2015, #ChildLabor has INCREASED. We CAN #EndChildLabour if govts prioritize children's health, freedom, & education. When 1 in 4 kids under 5 worldwide are enduring severe child #FoodPoverty, we need #SocialProtection more than ever. #WDACL2024.
Even as we celebrate #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour today, what strikes a jarring note is that we have failed our children. Though the Sustainable Development Goals were rolled out in 2016, child labour has increased from 152 million to 160 million. The international community

Farming #tobacco can cause breathing difficulties, nausea, headaches, dizziness, rashes, & irritation to mouth & eyes. But in the #US a 12yr-old can do this hazardous work. Write to legislators to stop #ChildLabor in tobacco - and follow the Campaign to @EndUSChildLabor!.

Child-focused #SocialProtection is a vital part of ending #ChildLabour & #poverty. #India's #PMPoshan program is one of the world's biggest social protection schemes for children, providing 118 million children with school lunches every day. Our founder, @k_satyarthi, was part of.
Compassion is latent in each one of us. We just need to ignite the spark within us and globalise compassion to create a just and equitable world. My keynote address at the #PMPoshan @AkshayaPatra four billion meal celebration at @UN in New York today.

Children working in #US agriculture are far more likely to be exposed to hazards leading to injuries, sickness, & death. An estimated 300,000 children are toiling in our fields, putting their health & lives at risk. #NFAW2024 #EndUSChildLabor

In #US agriculture, children can work unlimited hours from the age of 12. No 12-year-old should be toiling in the fields at the expense of their health & education, anywhere in the world - it is #ChildLabor. But in the US, this is legal. #NFAW2024 #EndUSChildLabor

Q: Why can 12-year-olds toil in American fields for unlimited hours a day?.A: Because the law that allows it comes from 1938, & it is steeped in racism. Q: So why is it still legal, 86 years later?.A: 🤷🏽♀️.#NFAW2024 #EndUSChildLabor
