Today, throughout the world, around 215 million children work, many
full-time. They do not go to school and have little or no time to play.
Many do not receive proper nutrition or care. They are denied the
chance to be children. More than half of them are exposed to the worst
forms of child labour such as work in hazardous environments,
slavery, or other forms of forced labour, illicit activities including
drug trafficking and prostitution, as well as involvement in armed
conflict
