Stolen Childhoods: How Businesses Can Protect Children
Every June 12th, World Day Against Child Labor reminds us that ending this exploitation requires a collective effort. Businesses have the power to make a difference, ensuring that every child has the chance to learn, play, and reach their full potential.

These businesses, focused on principles like fair treatment and human rights, suddenly find themselves profiting from stolen childhoods. It's not just an ethical failing, but a reputational risk. Consumers today are vocal about wanting companies to act responsibly, and ignoring child labor can lead to public backlash and even legal trouble.
