I wish our champions were still here

Today was the day when the Committee discussed paragraph 4 of the recommendation. 7 amendments were presented to modify the text that our champions lobbied about. Whilst everybody recognised the need to protect child domestic worker, an intense discussion took place in relation to the current prohibition in the text of night work for children. After a long exchange and a unanimous support from all governments that spoke the paragraph was retained!

This is a real success and there is no doubt that the Global Views of child domestic workers and the lobbying of our Champions played a significant part in achieving this great result!
