[PDF] Toolkit to address child labour in the agricultural sector in Egypt

The overall objective of this toolkit is to improve conditions for working children by increasing awareness and understanding of child labour issues in Egypt...[It] is aimed at companies, large and small, in the agricultural sector with specific reference to the agricultural sector in Egypt...[and] provides companies in the agricultural sector with practical and achievable guidance on how to: provide the best possible work conditions for children, treat children in ways that respect and support their rights, [and] identify and address child labour...An estimated 70% [of child labourers in Egypt]...are found in the agricultural sector. They often work long hours in harsh conditions, they are mostly underpaid and can be at risk of physical and humiliating punishment.
