On Wednesday, CLC and partners brought the fight against child labor to Capitol Hill in recognition of World Day Against Child Labor. The conversation does not stop here. See photos and videos: flickr.com/photos/nationalco… #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor #EndChildLabor

NCL has been fighting child labor since 1899. We helped pass the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. We launched the @ChildLaborCLC in 1989. And on this World Day Against Child Labor, we are still at it — pushing for the legislation that will finally deliver the protections every child deserves. See the bills we support in the 119th Congress. ow.ly/qmn050Zbil6 #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour #EndChildLabor

Child labor should be a lesson taught in history class, not an ongoing crisis. To commemorate the World Day Against Child Labor, Ranking Member @BobbyScott spoke with experts to reaffirm Democrats' commitment to strengthening child labor laws with the Protecting Children Act.

World Day Against Child Labor is not just an observance. It is a call to action. 138 million children are still waiting for protection. See the bills the CLC is fighting for in the 119th Congress: stopchildlabor.org/wp-conten… #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour

70% of Australians believe their government should keep forced labor goods off store shelves. Yet Australia remains one of the only developed nations with no law banning them. Carolyn Kitto is calling on the Australian government to act. stopchildlabor.org/when-the-…

Protection against heat “isn’t rocket science,” UFW's Strater said. “We know what it takes to keep workers alive in high heat: They need shade, they need paid rest breaks…they need training and information, not only as to what the danger signs are, but what their rights are. 1/2

Today I joined a group of strong and tireless survivors of child marriage and other advocates from @UnchainedAtLast as they held a demonstration advocating for the passage of Senate Bill 341 and banning of child marriage.

Over 5,000 minors were married in Ohio between 2000 and 2024. Girls as young as 17 can still legally marry with a court order. This is not a tradition. It is abuse. NCL CEO Sally Greenberg is calling on Ohio lawmakers to end child marriage once and for all. #EndChildMarriage #Ohio #ChildProtection @UnchainedAtLast @ChildLaborCLC

Every child deserves a childhood. Join CLC, @NCL_Tweets, Global March Against Child Labour, and @LCLAA on Capitol Hill June 10 for Combating Child Labor 2026: Status Report in recognition of World Day Against #ChildLabor. RSVP: nclnet.org/combating-child-l… #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor

Big Tobacco cannot sell a cigarette to a 12-year-old. But they can put one to work in a tobacco field. That child will absorb nicotine through their skin, get sick on the job, and go home with no legal protection. This #WorldNoTobaccoDay, NCL says enough. Pass the Children Don't Belong on Tobacco Farms Act.

NCL has been fighting child labor since before it was a federal crime. Founded in 1899, we spent decades pushing until the FLSA of 1938 set the first federal child labor standards in American history. But laws only go so far. In 1989 we launched the @ChildLaborCLC because the fight was not finished. 127 years later children are still being exploited in fields, factories, and supply chains worldwide. The children of 2026 deserve better. #InternationalChildrensDay #EndChildLabor

A 12-year-old can't buy cigarettes in the U.S. But they can legally harvest tobacco. The Child Labor Coalition has fought to change this for 10 years. Congress still hasn't acted. On #WorldNoTobaccoDay: what are you waiting for? stopchildlabor.org/75-plus-o…

They are not carriers, neither are they ready to earn but rather to learn. Care for their vulnerable bodies, protect them as normal children for they are the new buds of the next generation. #EndChildLabour in coalition with @EnabelinUganda @GCICUganda @GovUganda @PoliceUg

Ohio has a strong bill to ban child marriage sitting in the Senate Judiciary Committee. 18 years old. No exceptions. No loopholes. And here's the part that should make every Ohioan's jaw drop: Not one person has come forward to oppose it.

Coffee should never come at the cost of forests, human rights, or exploitation. ☕🌱 We are demanding a future where every cup of coffee is: • Deforestation-free • Land dispossession-free • Child labour-free • Exploitation-free • Built on living wages and living incomes • Truly sustainable from farm to cup Behind every bag of coffee are farmers, communities, forests, and ecosystems that deserve protection, dignity, and justice. Ethical coffee cannot just be a trend. It must become the standard. Hallelujah for coffee that protects both people and planet. ✊🏽🌍

Child labour steals dreams, limits opportunities, and exposes children to danger‼️ Education should be every child’s workplace. Let us unite to end exploitation in all its forms. #EndChildLabour #StopTrafficking

We urge all stakeholders including government agencies, CSOs, schools, cultural institutions, and community members to strengthen collaboration in the fight against child labour and modern slavery. Report cases through 116. #EndChildLabour @EnabelinUganda @GCICUganda
