“Red Card to Child Labour: Fair Play for Children, Decent Work for Adults”

On the occasion of World Day Against Child Labour 2026, the SAIEVAC Regional Secretariat, in collaboration with SACG and NACG Pakistan, United Global Organization of Development - UGOOD and Ministry of Human Rights, Government of Pakistan is organized a Regional Online Consultation to strengthen collective efforts towards ending all forms of child labour in South Asia.

Despite global progress, millions of children continue to be deprived of their fundamental rights and are engaged in child labour, hazardous work, trafficking, bonded labour, domestic servitude, and other exploitative situations. These children are often denied access to education, protection, health, and opportunities for a safe and dignified future.

This regional consultation will provide a platform for governments, civil society organizations, children, youth, development partners, and other stakeholders to:
✅ Amplify children’s voices in addressing child labour.
✅ Discuss regional progress and challenges in achieving SDG Target 8.7.
✅ Promote the implementation of the SAIEVAC Regional Action Plan (RAP) 2024–2029.
✅ Strengthen understanding of the Marrakech Global Framework for Action Against Child Labour (MGFAACL) and the Durban Call to Action.
✅ Identify country-level initiatives and develop mechanisms to monitor progress towards the elimination of child labour in South Asia.

Together, let us reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child enjoys their right to education, protection, participation, and a childhood free from exploitation.

Every child belongs in school, not at work. Together, let us show a Red Card to Child Labour.
