Today, millions of children are forced to work in inhumane conditions, threatening their physical and mental integrity and severely violating the Convention of the Rights of the Child. The World Day Against Child Labour was launched in 2002 by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in order to raise awareness of this appalling yet persisting phenomenon.

The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) is an international organization whose core mission is to give a voice to unrepresented and marginalized communities. Because of their vulnerable status in society, minority communities, and especially their children, are more often than not victims of contemporary forms of slavery.

With this document, UNPO wants to contribute to the worldwide movement against child labour, through the artistic eye of photographer Luca Catalano Gonzaga, who tells us photographic stories from child labour in Nepal and Mauritania.
