Today, as we remember victims of the slave trade and its abolition, let's recognize that slavery isn't history.

With 5️⃣0️⃣ million trapped in modern slavery, it's urgent to end this human rights abuse and work towards a better future for all.

A world free of child and forced labour is possible for every child. #EndChildLabour.

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

Child labour steals childhoods and denies children their rights.

Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to learn, play, and dream. ✨ #EndChildLabour

Our new report with @UNmigration & @WalkFree shows 50 million people globally are in #modernslavery.

Nothing can justify the persistence of this fundamental abuse of human rights.

Govts, employers' orgs, trade unions & civil society must come together to help #EndModernSlavery.

#Teachers will play a critical role in the #COVID19 recovery as they get education back on track and teach the skills needed for the #futureofwork.

In order to do this, teachers need decent and safe working conditions, including equitable access to vaccines.
