#Repost @unicefturkiye with @make_repost ・・・ Bugün Dünya Çocuk İşçiliği ile Mücadele Günü. Dünya COVID-19 salgınıyla mücadele etmeye devam ederken, bu benzeri görülmemiş krizin beklenen sosyo-ekonomik etkileri çocukların çocuk işçiliğine maruz kalma risklerini daha da artırmaktadır. Çocuk işçiliği, çocukların zihinsel, sosyal, fiziksel ve psikolojik gelişimini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çocukların okula gitmelerine, akranlarıyla vakit geçirmelerine, oyun oynamalarına ve boş zamanlarını değerlendirmelerine de engel olmaktadır. UNICEF ortaklarıyla birlikte çocuk işçiliğine karşı çalışmalarını sürdürüyor. Çocuklar her koşulda ihmal ve istismardan korunmalıdır. Çocuklukları onların elinden alınmamalıdır.
