In a major push to educate children about their rights, the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and the Third Sector extended its educational campaign to northern schools during an interactive awareness forum at the Daryll Jordan Secondary School.

The event, which targeted primary school pupils preparing for the transition to secondary school, emphasised the importance of maintaining Barbados’ long-standing record of zero child labour cases.

Organisers revealed that the event was strategically timed ahead of the global observation of World Day Against Child Labour, which aligns with the International Labour Organisation’s campaign theme, Red Card to Child Labour.
