The practice of child labour poses major human rights and socio-economic challenges on a local, regional and international scale. #childlabour #forcedlabour #labour #Africa #worker #africanchildren #UNICEF #CAJPHR  #CentreforAfrica #RQETeam  UNICEF

In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of child labourers aged 5- 17 years fell from 65 million (25.3 percent of the age group) in 2008 to 59 million (21.4 percent) in 2012. Despite international efforts, sub-Sahara africa remains the region with the highest incidence of child labour.

Children unable to attend school because of forced labour negatively affects their school performance. This, later on, affects their ability to compete in the labour market and to have a better future. This causes a great impact to their lives and their families future. #ilo

My dear Kenyans. When did you last see a product with a label MADE IN KENYA? I have some ideas on how we can have many MADE IN KENYA products in supermarket shelves and shops in a sustained manner that ensures home grown industrialization.

You defend and retain your 1500 meters title by winning gold back to back in spectacular fashion, while at it you set a new Olympic record. Truly remarkable! Congratulations Faith Kepyegon for raising the Kenyan flag 🇰🇪 high at the #2020TokyoOlympics.
