International program child labor to be launched

Rabat will host this June 27-29 a national seminar to launch the international program against child labor and examine local plans.

The seminar, held by the ministry of employment, vocational training, social development and solidarity, and the International Labor Office, will look into ways to stopping worst forms of child labor, improve children working conditions in the mid term and abolish totally children labor in the long term.

The seminar will mark the international program enforcement in Morocco which has ratified the international convention on worst forms of child labor.

A committee, comprising non-governmental organization, ministries, UNICEF and fund donors, will be set up to coordinate and adopt the Program activities.

The Program is enforced by a French-Belgian financing.
