Baghdad, Iraq (ILO News) The International Labour Organization in Iraq and partners launched a nation-wide campaign to tackle the worst forms of child labour in the country. The campaign will target 10,000 children, their families and guardians, teachers, employers, and the media through a series of activities which aim to raise awareness on the increasing dangers of child labour, mobilise efforts to reach the heart of communities most effected by the rise of child labour in the country; and encourage activities to amplify the voices of those effected by the problem.

The levels of COVID 19 infection rates in Iraq continue putting enormous pressure on hospitals, intensive care units, health workers, and country resources.

As you celebrate this blessed occasion within the confines of your homes, I convey my best wishes to you and your loved ones.
