End Child Slavery Week: November 20-26 2014
Today, 5.5 million children across the globe are trapped in some form of child slavery. The Global March Against Child Labor—founded by Ashoka Fellow and Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi is organizing End Child Slavery Week from November 20th through the 26th through a joint initiative with Anti-Slavery International, Education International, the International Trade Union Confederation, KidsRights and the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Through marches and demonstrations, petitions and community engagement, the End Child Slavery Week campaign aims to incorporate the eradication of child slavery in post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals.
