At a special meeting in April in Washington, DC, we are calling for a new global commitment and action through the United Nations to abolish all forms of child slavery by the end of 2015, in order to meet the education goal of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To this end, as we mobilize to accelerate progress towards 2015, we invite [companies] to: (a) consult key resources for employers on children’s rights, supply chain, and child labour resources to raise awareness; (b) acknowledge receipt of this letter by emailing [email protected] with a brief example of what their firm is doing or plans to do, or with their words of support; (c) step up efforts to respect and support children’s rights in alignment with the Children’s Principles; (d) consider making a commitment about their plans and actions; and (e) consider joining the ILO/UN Global Compact Child Labour Platform.
