Child Labor

Working Together to Combat Child Labor

Next Tuesday, June 8, the Departments of State and Labor, in partnership with the American Federation of Teachers, No Limits Foundation, and the International Labor Rights Forum, will host a conference to commemorate World Day Against Child Labor to highlight ways we can take effective action to end child labor. In addition to social and economic development, child labor, and working conditions, panelists will discuss Education for All.
