Topic: Child labor in fast fashion

The issue of child labor is a critical issue for UNICEF, particularly in industries like fast fashion, where children are among the most vulnerable to exploitation. Fast fashion, driven by the demand for inexpensive and rapidly produced clothing, often depends on low-cost labor from developing countries. In many of these regions, children are forced into unsafe working conditions, denied education, and subjected to exploitation that violates their fundamental rights. UNICEF works globally to protect children from harmful labor practices, advocating for stronger regulations, corporate accountability, and sustainable development to ensure that children's rights are upheld in every aspect of the global economy. Addressing child labor in fast fashion is essential to breaking cycles of poverty and safeguarding the well-being and future of millions of children around the world.
