192 world leaders within the UN that have agreed to end child labour by 2025
We’re running out of time. 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. Children work in illegal mines, are forced to do domestic work, are subjected to begging on the streets, are being sexually exploited, risking their lives.

#TheClockisTicking with only three years left. It’s about time for world leaders to amplify their efforts to protect children from the worst forms of child labour.

Sign now and join the international movement in the call for immediate action in the fight against child labour, to secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour by 2025.

There is no excuse for not taking urgent action on the worldwide agreement on ending child labour. Children have the right to grow up safely and reach their full potential. #TheClockisTicking

'Dear World Leaders,
The clock is ticking. In 2015, you and 192 other world leaders within the UN, have agreed to end child labour by 2025 according to the sustainable development goals. Sadly every day 160 million children are still working in illegal mines, risking their lives. We’re running out of time with only three years left. #TheClockisTicking and it’s about time to amplify your initiatives to protect children from the worst forms of child labour.'
