Why it Matters?
Around 152 million children nearly 1 in 10 worldwide are still in child labour. 73 million of them are in hazardous work that threatens their health, safety, and development.
Many are denied education, forced to work long hours, and stripped of their right to a safe childhood. Child labour exists across every region and sector, from agriculture to factories and street work.
Progress is possible. But it requires urgent action and greater awareness. That's where music comes in.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the United Nations agency for the world of work. It sets international labour standards, promotes rights at work and encourages decent employment opportunities, the enhancement of social protection and the strengthening of dialogue on work-related issues.
The ILO defines “child labour” as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to their physical and mental development.
It refers to work that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children; and interferes with their schooling by depriving them of the opportunity to attend school; obliging them to leave school prematurely, or requiring them to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work.
In its most extreme forms, child labour involves children being enslaved, separated from their families, exposed to serious hazards and illnesses and/or left to fend for themselves on the streets of large cities – often at a very early age.

Everything you need to make your dedication count!
All children have the right to their childhood: to learn, to play and to grow in safety.
Yet today, an estimated 138 million children worldwide are still trapped in child labour. Of these, 54 million are engaged in hazardous work that threatens their health, safety, and development. Behind these numbers are children who are deprived of opportunities to learn, thrive, and reach their full potential.
