Child labour today

End Child Exploitation is a UNICEF UK campaign to raise awareness about the grim realities of child exploitation. This report, the third in the series, exposes the exploitation of children as workers. Tens of millions of children around the world today work long hours from very young ages. Some are even recruited as cannon fodder for political causes, or are treated as sex toys. The report describes cases from around the world of children who start work instead of attending school.
