World Day Against Child Labour in 2021

Today is World Day Against Child Labor. Approximately 160M children worldwide are engaged in child labor. You may be surprised to learn items you use every day could be produced by #ChildLabor, from shoes & coffee to cell phones & toys. So what can you do about it? #WDACL (1/5) https://t.co/eRI06IGFg8

Libertarians called for open borders, abolishing all welfare and bringing back child labor all in one day. Then they wonder why this is the case: https://t.co/EwkWV7gPy4

📢Freedom from violence is crucial to prevent child labour and to promote effective strategies for the recovery and reintegration of child victims. Latest global numbers show that it is urgent to outlaw the worst forms of child labour! @ilo #NoChildLabour Day #EndChildLabour2021 https://t.co/yvA1plbbp4

@kittynouveau A lot of replies here kinda proving my point... If, in 20 years, it doesn't matter that this CHILD works at BK THEN WHY IS ANYONE PROUD HE'S DOING IT Children should be enjoying their day, not getting ground down by the labour machine. There's a reason it's illegal elsewhere.

@EclecticRadical @becca74721600 These weird child labor takes are disappointing. Let kids be kids. I feel like all these people tell “Back in my day...” stories too much. If it is just to build character or show the value of a dollar, there are better ways than forcing or pushing your kid to work.

Thank you to the @USDOL for raising awareness on the World Day Against Child Labor. Children should be in the classroom, not being coerced or abused into labor. The U.S. will fight child labor practices both domestically and internationally. #EndChildLabor2021 #WDACL2021 https://t.co/3Ze7aUXkwi

During the pandemic, women have taken the brunt of the damage to the labor force, whether in the form of losing their jobs or taking on child care and education on top of their work obligations, writes RSM chief economist @JoeBrusuelas. https://t.co/UldgOVUxHG https://t.co/4MV5kJUTrL
