Child Labor brief

Workers’ rights, including protecting children from economic exploitation and hazardous work, are essential for fostering safe, thriving communities. When labor rights are upheld, families earn fair wages, reducing the need for child labor and allowing children to pursue education and development. World Vision collaborates with governments, civil society, and private sector stakeholders to enforce labor laws, promote safe working conditions, and increase access to education and social protections. Through advocacy, training, and partnerships, World Vision strengthens systems that protect vulnerable workers, ensuring they are aware of their rights and connected to resources that improve livelihoods, reduce exploitation, and promote long-term well-being for families and communities.
