The International Labour Organization (ILO) created the World Day Against Child Labor in 2002 with the vision to work "towards a world where no children will be deprived of a normal, healthy childhood, where parents can find decent jobs and children can go to school. Our goal is a world free from child labour." Twenty-one years later, we don’t need to look far to be troubled. Since 2018, illegal child labor increased by 69% in the United States. Right here in our own backyard, 835 companies with ties to well-known brands such as Lucky Charms, Tyson Foods, Cargill, and Hyundai were found to be in violation of labor laws. These companies were illegally employing over 3,800 children, many in extremely dangerous work. |
