Start of the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour: Minister Müller calls for swift agreement on supply chain law
21.01.2021 - Thursday, 21 January marks the start of the United Nations International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour. In a statement, German Development Minister Gerd Müller said: "The COVID-19 crisis is proving to be a disaster for many children: right now, 320 million children are not able to attend school. [...] Even before the pandemic, more than 70 million children were being forced to labour under exploitative conditions – including children working to produce goods that we buy. That is modern slavery." more Start of the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour: Minister Müller calls for swift agreement on supply chain law
