President Nelson Mandela Sends Message in Support of the Global March Against Child Labour

March 21, Capetown
  Nelson Mandela

It is a pleasure to convey my sincere greetings to you all on this occasion.

I am most concerned about the large number of children subjected to child labour in South Africa and worldwide. A March of this nature is important in raising awareness and campaigning against this form of child abuse, which is a gross violation of children's rights and robs them of their childhood.

It is only through concerted action that we will rescue our children from the child labour and prevent a new generation of children from becoming victims.

I wish you all every success in your endeavors.

Nelson Mandela
President
Republic of South Africa

The Global March Against Child Labour is a movement to mobilise worldwide efforts to protect and promote the rights of all children, especially the right to receive a free, meaningful education and to be free from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be harmful to the child's physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.
