(May 27, Tokyo) |
RENGO held an International Forum for Child Labor (session one was held
in Yokohama, session two in Tokyo) on May 26-27. Taking advantage of its
position as co-host of the World Cup Games, the forum was designed to
uncover the real conditions of child labor in soccer-related industries
(balls, shoes, apparel, etc.) in Asian countries and initiate actions
aimed at the eradication of child labor from Japan to the world. Representatives
at the forum came from international labor organizations and labor unions
from India and Pakistan and other industry-based world labor federations.
In addition to reporting on the actual conditions of child labor, there
was also discussion of the necessity for the eradication of poverty, and
the edification and education activities |
