About this title

Synopsis

The world community is calling for an end to the intolerable: the persistent exploitation of children in slave-like and bonded conditions, hazardous and arduous work, prostitution, pornography and other unspeakable situations. This report chronicles the exploitation and abuse of working children, surveys international and national law and practice, and points the way towards effective practical action to eliminate such exploitation and abuse. Drawing on ILO action against child labour, including the experience of the ILO's International Programme for the Elimination of Child Labour, the report details legal and practical measures aimed at removing children from debt bondage, prostitution and hazardous occupations and activities. The report should prove useful to all those individuals and organizations campaigning for the ban and immediate removal of children working in hazardous occupations.
