Guest Speakers Carolyn and Fuzz Kitto of Be Slavery Free join us to provide insight into the current state of child labour and its impacts globally. Carolyn and Fuzz will share how they are working to eliminate child labour as part of their work for our world to Be Slavery Free.

The UN has declared 2021 as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour, which provides an opportunity to address the challenges posed by COVID-19 and to accelerate progress towards the goal set by the Sustainable Development Goals to end child labour in all its forms by 2025.
