El trabajo infantil es un grave deterioro para la sociedad entera, es una problemática que causa muchos sinsabores en las comunidades y en las más pobres aún más.  Muy doloroso es encontrar en  nuestro camino niños y niñas cargando responsabilidades que les competen solo a los adultos, pero aún es más doloroso Ignorar que esto está sucediendo y que cada día se han incrementado en el mundo explotaciones físicas, sexuales, laborales en los que llamamos “el presente y futuro de nuestros países”. Es que el  trabajo infantil no sólo afecta la vida de los niños y niñas, es que el trabajo infantil los arranca de sus vivencias como niños, el de su educación, el de su recreación y deporte, el de sus espacios culturales y el de compartir afectos con su núcleo familiar y con otros niños de su edad.

Ignorar o pasar de largo frente a este problema,  es  retroceder, retroceder como sociedad y como país.  No podemos ser participes en que nuestros niños y niñas abandonen su niñez, abandonen sus estudios, abandonen sus sueños que se construyen paso a paso,  no empujados por las necesidades, o por los abusos y maltratos a que son sometidos al trabajar cuando es sólo responsabilidad de personas adultas.Recordemos los  últimos datos de trabajo infantil de 2009, del DANE. De los 11´443.496 niños y adolescentes de entre 5 a 17 años que tenía Colombia, 1´768.154 trabajaban. Cifra Preocupante porque el país somos todos.

Por ello, nos unimos con las diferentes instituciones públicas representativas en la protección al menor, en Erradicar el Trabajo Infantil, donde se irá por toda la ciudad, en una bus acondicionado con el mensaje a cada lado de “Erradicar el Trabajo Infantil”,  igualmente  nos concentraremos en varios puntos de la ciudad de Barranquilla para que se extienda nuestro propósito de crear conciencia frente a este tema. De esta manera estarán participando todas las secretarías de la Alcaldía de Barranquilla, en instituciones públicas de la Ciudad donde podremos enviar el mensaje a los docentes, niños, niñas y jóvenes vinculados a estas instituciones de primaria y bachillerato, donde previamente se les ha pasado el mensaje de 1 hora dedicada en talleres, charlas, crucigramas, actividades lúdicas y culturales y asi explicar porque no podemos seguir permitiendo que los niños y niñas trabajen.

Así que este tema es compromiso de Todos, de cada una de las Instituciones públicas, privadas, de bachillerato, de primaria, de universidades, de localidades, de juntas de acción comunal, de Juntas administradoras locales, de empresas y de las mismas familias, ERRADICAR EL TRABAJO INFANTIL ES TAREA DE TODOS LOS DIAS.

Did you know that  around the world, agriculture is the sector where by far the largest share of child labourers is found – nearly 60 percent?

In fact, more than 129 million girls and boys aged 5 to 17 years old work in the agriculture sector, which includes crop and livestock production as well as foresty and fishing activities. Agriculture is one of the three most dangerous sectors in terms of work-related fatalities, non-fatal accidents and occupational diseases, and approximately 59 percent (or 70 million) of all children in hazardous work aged 5–17 are in agriculture.

It is important to note that not all activities that children participate in within this sector are considered as "child labour." Some participation in family farm activities can teach children valuable life skills, build pride and self-esteem, and contribute to family income and livlihoods. Children, should not, however, participate in hazardous activities that may harm their safety, health, morals or developmental well-being. 

To tackle the pressing issue of child labour in agriculture and support decent work initiatives for youth in this sector, the ILO developed a global, inter-agency advocacy team of labour and agriculture stakeholders. Since 2007, the International partnership for cooperation on child labour in agriculture (IPCCLA) has brought together the ILO, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), (formerly) the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP), and the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations (IUF). 

IPCCLA supports collaboration between labour and agriculture stakeholders to better address child labour in agriculture. Knowledge exchange and policy collaboration between labour and agriculture organization are key to ground policy and legislation on child labour to the rural economy. Collaborating with ministries of labour, ministries of agriculture, departments of fisheries and forestry, agricultural extension services, farmers' organizations and cooperatives, agricultural producer organizations and agricultural research bodies, agricultural workers unions, bring together very different areas of technical expertise and understanding of child labour issues. A multidisciplinary perspective provides innovative solutions to promote child labour elimination and decent work for adults as part of sustainable agriculture.

Specifically, the IPCCLA aims to:

  • promote cooperation and programme and policy coherence on child labour among the Partners, especially at national level
  • mainstream child labour into existing activities of agricultural organizations and help raising awareness on how child labour elimination contributes to achieving organizational mandates of agricultural organizations;
  • promote action and cooperation to improve rural livelihoods and alternative income-generating activities, and to ensure that children do not carry out hazardous work in agriculture;
  • promote opportunities for decent youth employment in agriculture and in rural areas.

Are you interested in learning more about child labour, youth employment and decent work in various agriculture sub-sectors? If so, visit the FAO-ILO Working Together webpage - "Food, Agriculture and Decent Work" - which is continually updated with new information and IPCCLA activities:  http://www.fao-ilo.org/fao-ilo-child
