These include four previous global conferences held in Buenos Aires (2017), Brasilia (2013), The Hague (2010), and Oslo (1997), which raised awareness, mobilised resources, and established a strategic direction for the global movement against child labour.
South Africa’s hosting of the conference is consistent with Sustainable Development Goals which call for the abolition of all forms of child labour by 2025, and the abolition of forced labour, modern slavery, and human trafficking by 2030.
