Collaborate to advocate for promoting and protecting children’s rights
Together, Global March Against Child Labour members develop and implement advocacy strategies to urge governments, international organisations, inter-governmental regional bodies and the United Nations, to take action on ending child labour. Many members work together in their countries to advocate for relevant national, laws, policies, action and their effective implementation of the same.
