Children Day Wallpaper Biography
November 20 marks Universal Children’s Day. Established by the United Nations over 50 years ago, it is a day to encourage countries to initiate action to promote the welfare of children. This year Anti-Slavery International is calling upon the government of Uzbekistan to end the use of state-sponsored forced child labour to collect its annual cotton harvest.
The cotton harvest is coming to an end. Hundreds of thousands of children will finally be able to return to the classroom having been in the field with their teachers since mid-September working to meet quotas issued by decree. Children who refuse to take part or who do not meet their quotas are threatened with punishment, such as expulsion from school or physical beatings. This is child slavery.
In June this year Uzbekistan was called before the International Labour Organization’s Committee on the Application of Standards, who expressed their grave concern at the use of forced and child labour. The Committee urged the government to accept an observer mission to assess their compliance with ILO standards. We are disappointed to learn that the government refused this offer.
