The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe emphasizes the urgent need to eradicate harmful child labour as the 2025 deadline for achieving Target 8.7 of the UN 2030 Agenda approaches. With 79 million children working in hazardous conditions globally, including 3.3 million in forced labour, the Assembly calls on member States to implement national action plans, strengthen legal frameworks, and address root causes such as poverty and lack of education. It highlights the importance of international cooperation and the role of public authorities in ensuring effective measures are taken. The Assembly also supports the Durban Call to Action, which outlines a comprehensive approach to eliminate child labour, and urges national parliaments to monitor progress towards these goals.
