The good news: From 2000-2016, the number of children in child labor globally fell by 94 million.
The bad news: 152 million children are still in child labor; 73 million of them in hazardous work.

New Jersey is one step away from ending child marriage. Take action and tell @GovMurphy to sign #S427, which would legally #EndChildMarriage in the state. bit.ly/2HrjRC0 pic.twitter.com/MgvlureP9n

On #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor, let's bust a myth: ending child labor doesn't mean kids can't work. It's making sure that kids don't work under hazardous conditions or when they are too young.

The best way to end child labor? Solid laws that are actually enforced; good access to free, quality education; and programs to support the most vulnerable, like cash transfer programs.

Some people associate child labor with sweatshops and factory work, but the vast majority of child labor (70%) is in agriculture.

For #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor, here are some facts about child labor:
In 2000, there were 245 million children engaged in child labor; today it's 152 million. Good progress, but we must do more. pic.twitter.com/SfkPAPfDEr

It's #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor and time to get children out of work that jeopardizes their health and safety. 85 million children in hazardous work is 85 million too many.

UN SG @antonioguterres will soon issue his annual report on children and armed conflict. @hrw joined 23 other groups to urge him to tell the truth about the Saudi-led coalition: it continues to kill children in Yemen and has done little to protect them.
