UNICEF celebrity advocate Trisha lends support to end all forms of child labour
Popular South Indian film star and UNICEF Celebrity Advocate, Ms. Trisha Krishnan, pledged her support to end all forms of child labor.
Speaking at the signature campaign and a rally organized by the labour department to mark the world day against child labour, she said, “Children are employed as they can be easily exploited. Child labour can severely affect children’s health, safety and cognitive development. These risks can have an irreversible impact on their development, health and wellbeing.”
