Save the Children York & Toronto University Clubs and Humber College invite students and professors to the following Panel Discussion:

Beyond Abolishment: Child-Rights Focus on Children and Work

The discussion of children and work is a complex one. Protecting children from the worst forms of labour is paramount but the realities of extreme poverty often mean that children under the legal working age must engage in some forms of work to generate personal or family income. Moreover, while the majority of working children work in the informal sector, the focus of governments, international institutions, companies and consumers tends to be on child labour in the formal sector. A panel of international experts and academics will discuss the full spectrum of this debate and provide participants with an opportunity to explore the possibilities beyond abolishment. Panel Presenters may include: Michael Bourdillon, Professor Emeritus Department of Sociology, University of Zimbabwe Bill Myers, Professor Human and Community Development, University of California Ben White, Professor Emeritus University of La Hague Kavita Ratna, Director of Advocacy and Funding Concerned for Working Children Richard Carothers, President Partners in Technology Exchange Location: Humber College, Lakeshore Campus 3199 Lake Shore Blvd W, Toronto Room: L1017 *Light refreshments will be provided To register visit www.eventbrite.ca, use Toronto location and search words “Beyond Abolishment”.

Time: 10:50 a.m. - 11:40 a.m.
