It's 25 years since @ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour was adopted.
It's the first universally ratified ILO Convention, yet today 160 million children are in child labour.
The global community must act on its commitments and #EndChildLabour!

Transparency is the first step to accountability. Ask #WhoMadeMyClothes
