International World Day Against Child Labour

Greatest Good’s vision is to grow a thriving for-purpose sector and to build a community committed to tackling social and environmental inequalities. This is why we care deeply about organisations who are working to eradicate the exploitation of children worldwide.

Child labour robs millions of children of their childhood, their potential, and their dignity. It perpetuates cycles of poverty, undermines national economies, and is a violation of human rights.

With a rich tradition of labour laws advancing human rights in Australia, protecting minimum school leaving and employment age, child labour may not appear to be a salient issue for Australian consumers. But the globalisation of business has resulted in complex global supply chains that result in worker exploitation occurring outside of Australian laws. This means child labour is an issue for all Australian consumers and businesses.

This World Day Against Child Labour, we urge our community to join the global movement against child labour by supporting the for-purpose businesses, social enterprises, and non-profits in our ecosystem that care about human rights - link in bio!

We encourage you to explore the issue at the United Nations World Against Child Labour Day website, and join us in acting on our commitments to end child labour!

This is just one of the many issues that the Greatest Good ecosystem cares about.

Together, through conscious consumerism and collective action, we can uphold the rights of all children and create a world where they can learn, play, and reach their full potential free from exploitation. Join us in doing your Greatest Good this World Day Against Child Labour.
