We believe that children and adolescents have the fundamental right to experience their childhood in an environment of protection, education, and well-being. Any participation in labour activities that interfere with their physical, mental, social, or educational development, or that put their health and safety at risk, will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

As an organization working with children and young people in Latin America and Africa, we are committed to promoting and protecting their rights, aligning ourselves with international principles and national legislation that prohibit child labour and promote the comprehensive protection of minors. We are dedicated to creating a safe environment, free from labour exploitation, in all our activities and projects, ensuring that all children under our care have access to quality education, recreation, and full development, without being exposed to the injustices and risks associated with child labour.

AXIS is currently (from November 2024) working on a draft of this policy for us and our partners, if you want to collaborate in the development on this document, you should contact AXIS secretariat.
