Saturday, 12th June 2021 PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA ON THE OBSERVANCE OF THE WORLD DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 2021 Millions of girls and boys throughout the world are engaged into child labour and are victims of human trafficking, specifically child trafficking, that have placed them into child labour. These works have deprived them of adequate education, health, leisure and basic freedoms, thereby undermining their potential growth and development as well as their ability to gainful employment. More than half have been trafficked and are exposed to the worst forms of child labour such as work in hazardous environments, slavery, or other forms of forced labour, illicit activities such as drug trafficking, prostitution, and involvement in domestic work and in armed conflict.
