In Pictures: A Typical Day For Some Children In Rural Communities In Nigeria

In commemoration of today’s World Against Child Labour, RuralReporters.com highlights how a typical day looks like for some children in rural Nigeria.

About 215 million children continue to suffer from  forced labour and other social insecurities at the home-front and in the society. We hope that governments of all nations and stakeholders will take proactive action by extending social protection for children and end child labour by reducing poverty to the barest minimum in their communities.
