It's 25 years since @ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour was adopted.
It's the first universally ratified ILO Convention, yet today 160 million children are in child labour.
The global community must act on its commitments and #EndChildLabour!
#ILC2024
Today is #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour
The global fashion industry’s ongoing exploitation of workers is driving child labour throughout the supply chain due to the lack of living wages for garment workers 💸
