Eliminating Child Exploitation and Forced Labour in Global Supply Chains and Mineral Mining

About this committee

UNICEF is the United Nations agency that works for the rights and wellbeing of children everywhere — their health, education and protection from harm.

Many everyday products, from phones to chocolate, pass through long supply chains that cross several countries. Somewhere along the way, children may be made to work in dangerous conditions, including in mines that dig up the minerals used in electronics. Delegates will explore how companies and governments can trace where products come from and make sure no child is exploited to make them.
