Despite the global pledge to eliminate child labour by 2025 under SDG Target 8.7, there are still 138 million children trapped in child labour—over half of them in sub-Saharan Africa. With the 2025 deadline approaching, it is clear that urgent, collective action is needed. 

This side event will bring together international stakeholders, practitioners, and advocates to: 

- Reassess global progress and challenges 

- Explore practical and collaborative solutions 

- Strengthen the global commitment to a child labour-free world
