Unit for Combat of Child Labor in Lebanon

The Lebanese ministry of labor has a Unit for Combat of Child Labor. This specialized unit focuses on discouraging child labor. It was originally established to tackle the harmful effect of child labor on both the children and society. One of its goals is to increase and spread knowledge on the dangerous conditions that faces children at work. Another objective is the integration of various efforts produced by governmental bodies, social organizations, and regional and international associations. In fact, this unit will enforce its objective through creating a database, specialized library, and a website on child labor. It will also organize professional training sessions for working children (above 15 years old) and others concerned with the issue.
