Kailash Satyarthi: Cutting child labour in global supply chains

With a holistic approach that engages governments, corporations, and civil society, the practice of using child workers can be ended, writes
Every day, 152m children perform hard labour, often in hazardous conditions. Bangladesh’s garment factories, which are staffed largely by women, and often children, are a prime example. Between 2006 and 2012, more than 500 Bangladeshi garment workers died in factory fires. In November 2012, a single fire left 117 workers dead, and more than 200 injured.
