Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182)

The Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182) is an international agreement established by the International Labour Organization (ILO) aimed at eliminating the most harmful types of child labor. This includes slavery, trafficking, forced labor, and hazardous work that can threaten a child's health, safety, or moral development. Countries that ratify this convention commit to taking immediate and effective action to protect children from these abuses and to provide support for their rehabilitation and education. The goal is to ensure that all children can enjoy their rights and have a safe, healthy childhood.
