Child labour: Whose responsibility is it?

Ending child labour takes action from governments, businesses and all of us. World Vision Canada works alongside communities to help children stay in school, strengthen family incomes and protect children from exploitation. In 2025, our broader child protection programs trained 393,354 children and adults on child protection issues. Our advocacy also helped advance Canada’s supply chain reporting law, in force since 2024—a step toward greater corporate accountability. Together, these efforts help address the pressures that push children into harmful work.

Sponsor a child and help children access education, nutritious food and support for a more secure future.
