The International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC)

The International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) is a global initiative by the International Labour Organization (ILO) aimed at combating child labor in all its forms. Launched in 1992, IPEC works with governments, employers, and community organizations to raise awareness, strengthen laws, and support vulnerable families. The program focuses on education, ensuring that children have access to schools rather than being forced into labor. By promoting safe environments and empowering communities, IPEC strives to create a world where all children can enjoy their rights and pursue their potential without the burden of work.
