Nearly 160 million children globally are subjected to child labour, with 50% aged between 5-11. The impacts include a significant loss of education, physical and mental health challenges and an increased risk of sexual harassment or trafficking.
In the first episode of Raising Changemakers, Carrie Grant journeys to Sierra Leone to meet two young activists, Haja and Siatta, who are campaigning against the use of child labour in their communities.
Carrie is also joined by Teleri Jardine from World Vision, who explains why so many children are still faced with the expectation and pressure to contribute to family incomes and how World Vision is empowering young people to understand their rights and stand up for change, as well as how the charity is supporting the creation of alternative streams of income for those in financial need.
Plus, Carrie chats to model, sustainable fashion advocate and activist, Brett Staniland, who was the first Love Island contestant to decline to wear fast fashion on the show. Brett shares his experience of travelling to Ghana to see the ecological and human impact of the clothing and beauty industry, as he shares his advice for how each of us can help make a difference.
