The International Labor Organization has announced that nearly 138 million children worldwide remain engaged in child labor. In its message for the World Day Against Child Labor, the UN agency urged governments and communities to ensure children stay in schools rather than working environments.
The organization expressed deep concern regarding the situation in Afghanistan. Decades of conflict and an ongoing economic crisis have forced countless Afghan families to rely on their children's income to survive. The return of the Taliban administration has further increased poverty and vulnerability.
Humanitarian groups continue to warn that educational restrictions, especially for girls, increase the risk of exploitation. Urgent and coordinated international efforts are required to protect vulnerable children from these harsh realities.
