World Day Against Child Labour
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges that 12 June 2020 is World Day Against Child Labour; understands that there are around 152 million 5- to 17-year-olds who are subject to such exploitation, with almost half, 73 million, being in what the UN describes as ‘hazardous child labour’; notes that, this year, there will be a focus on the impacts of COVID-19, which is expected to push more children into labour; recognises the vast impact that this has on children’s health, social development and education; believes that this has a detrimental impact on their ability to reach their potential in life, and promotes the protection of children from exploitative labour in all of its international engagements.
