Resumen
Descripción
Child labour continues to affect fisheries and aquaculture, exposing children to hazardous work, exploitation and risks to their education and development. Tackling this issue requires integrated strategies that address root causes such as poverty, lack of decent work, limited education and weak social protection. Prevention through access to schooling, resilient livelihoods and community awareness is essential, while children found in child labour must be supported with education and protection services. A strong legal and policy framework aligned with international standards, along with coordinated action by governments, industry, workers’ and civil society, is key. Better data and knowledge sharing will strengthen responses. Eliminating child labour supports sustainable fisheries and aquaculture and protects children’s rights and well-being.
