In the framework of the World Day Against Child Labor, this Friday, June 12, the National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (IDENNA), together with allied institutions, held the forum “The protection of children and adolescents in the workplace”.

“Child labor must be eradicated. We must promote the right to children, and what does the right to children mean? It's the right to education, it's the right to grow up in a family, it's the right to recreation, but above all, to always protect our children and adolescents so that they can grow up in a family, community, social environment, for their development,” said the president of IDENNA Soraida Ramírez Osorio from the activity in a press release from the institution.

He also stated that, when a boy, a girl or an adolescent takes to the streets to work, he is a victim of exploitation, “but he can also be a victim of trafficking, abuse, mistreatment. That is why today we speak out and raise our voices so that there is no more child labor and so that their childhood is justly respected.”

The activity was attended and accompanied by the ministries of the People's Power of the Office of the Presidency, and for Labor; the Municipal Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents; the National Institute for Workers' Training and Recreation (INCRET); the National Institute for Socialist Training and Education (INCES) and the Regional Coordination of Children and Adolescents Workers (CORENATS).
