New inter-agency toolkit on child labour in humanitarian action, Global Child Labour Task Force
Building on the universal ratification ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour and 2021 as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour , this innovative toolkit identifies the risks of child labour in humanitarian action, as well the importance of quality prevention and response programmes. Of the estimated 152 million girls and boys in child labour, many have been unnecessarily separated from their families with little or non-existent contact, especially for children on the move or in irregular migration. Many of these children lack identity documents, which makes the process of age verification and access to basic services challenging. As such, the tool on age verification is particularly helpful, as well as the other tools.
