12 June 2009 >>> World Day Against Child Labor

On the occasion of the World Day against Child Labor NSHC has organized a street action. T-shirts and leaflets with information were given to citizens. This year's motto is ''Give Girls a Chance''. Hundreds of millions of boys and girls around the world are involved in child labor that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to them. It interferes with their schooling, deprives them from their right to play and other children rights. More than half of these children are exposed to the most harmful forms of forced labor such as work in conditions that are dangerous, slavery, trafficking, drug distribution, begging, prostitution, etc. The most common type of child labor in Serbia is begging. Roma children, children from poor families, from rural areas and from foster families are the most vulnerable ones.
