On the 24th of June people of all ages will take part in the annual Shimmert Marathon for a child labour free world in the Netherlands. The BWI participates in this event every year to raise awareness of the situation for child labourers in the world and the right of every child to have a meaningful childhood.
The BWI has established schools for child labourers in India, Nepal and Bangladesh where children working at brick kilns, stone quarries and in forestry get the chance to go to school. Trade unions in these countries provide education to children in close collaboration with the governments and campaign for quality education and also better wages, working conditions and social protection for adult workers.
All funds from Schimmert event will be donated to the Child Learn Netherlands Foundation.
