IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 246MILLION CHIDLREN ARE ENGAGED IN CHILD LABOUR.

They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.

ILO figures show millions of girls work as domestic servants and unpaid household help and are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Millions of others work under horrific circumstances. They may be trafficked (1.2 million), forced into debt bondage or other forms of slavery (5.7 million), into prostitution and pornography (1.8 million), into participating in armed conflict (0.3 million) or other illicit activities (0.6 million). The vast majority of child labourers – 70 per cent or more – work in agriculture.

Why an International Conference on World Talented Children? We have become increasingly concerned about the position of children in countries where economic boom conditions have created an enormous demand for labour, and particularly cheap labour, which children can provide. We are also concerned about the spiralling growth of other forms of exploitation including sexual exploitation, illicit activities, armed conflict and bonded servitude.

We accordingly feel that the holding of a International Conference on this issue in California U.S.A and Guinea-Bissau would be most timely. We also feel that to hold it in an affluent country like ours might help to bring home to people in all affluent countries that they are the people whose consumption habits are making a very significant contribution to the problem.

The Conference in California U.S.A and Guinea-Bissau will bring together in excess of over 800 international delegates. It will involve the peak international bodies working in the area, the key decision makers in government and in the corporations who bear responsibilities in the area, law enforcement agencies, trade unions, academics, advocates, health workers, non government organizations, relevant professional organizations and the media. It is our hope to identify instances of Gifted Children exploitation and bring together international resources to highlight and address the problems, to put the issue of Talented Children exploitation firmly back on the international human rights agenda.
