"Fight child labor"

June 12 is International Day of Combat against Child Labor



Hana Human Rights Organization: Although the purpose of naming and designating a day as a day of struggle against child labor is to increase awareness and work to prevent child labor, but in Iran the living conditions resulting from wrong economic policy increase this phenomenon and the government itself It has become one of the violators of children's rights and the increase of working children.


According to published statistics, there are between 3 and 7 million Iranian working children, but because most working children do not have any identity and the Statistics Center of Iran does not want to announce the exact number of working children, there are no complete statistics in this regard, but activists Children's rights report the number of 10 million working children in Iran.
The use of children by the country's sovereignty in the Basij military groups and the Revolutionary Guards' work projects, as well as the use of children in state-run rallies in which they also cause hate speech, includes the examples of the use of children and the lack of proper education according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the modern world, which is contrary to the rights of children, which is carried out by the country's sovereignty.

 According to the government's own statistics, Kurdistan ranks first in the misery index in Iran, and because of this, children, as a large part of society, are always more vulnerable, and the increase in working children, Kolbar children and garbage children is one of the consequences of this situation. .
