Dear Sir/Madam,
We extend to you a cordial invitation to attend the 2012 international summit on child labour. The Conference will meet June 26-29 in the United States and July 02-05 in Senegal 2012.
An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour - one in six children in the world. Millions of children are engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.
In Sub-Saharan Africa around one in three children are engaged in child labour, representing 69 million children.
In South Asia, another 44 million are engaged in child labour.
The latest national estimates for this indicator are reported in Table 9 (Child Protection) of UNICEF's annual publication The State of the World's Children.
Children living in the poorest households and in rural areas are most likely to be engaged in child labour. Those burdened with household chores are overwhelmingly girls. Millions of girls who work as domestic servants are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
Labour often interferes with children's education. Ensuring that all children go to school and that their education is of good quality are keys to preventing child labour.
Participation in the summit is free but not fully sponsored. All registered participants are entitled to meals and accommodation which will be provided during their stay in the U.S.A only. Participant Air Tickets for both venue will be sponsored by our organization. Also note that the total number of participants will be limited, and registrations will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis. Registration is still open .If you are interested in attending, please register as soon as possible.
For more information contact the conference organizing committee via email: sumit_infoDesk@usa.com
If you are a holder of passport that may require visa to enter the United States Or Senegal, you may inform the conference secretariat at the time of registration, as the organizing committee is responsible for all visa arrangements and travel assistances.
Yours Sincerely,
Deborah Williams,
