TOR for The Development Of A Child Labour Policy The Gambia
The challenges of child labour still persist in recent times and The Gambia is not an exception. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) publication1, a total of 152 million children – 64 million girls and 88 million boys – are in child labour globally, accounting for almost one in ten of all children worldwide. The same report went further to explain that nearly half of the children in child labour (73 million children in absolute terms) are in hazardous work that directly endangers their health, safety, and moral development. These figures tell why the duty of protecting children from Child Labour has continued to be a challenge to the various actors working to proffer solution to its reduction and possible elimination.
