The event brings together high-level representatives and experts in child labor from more than 25 Ministries of Labor of the Americas, members of business and labor organizations, as well as international and civil society organizations in order to share best practices and identify lessons learned in the prevention and eradication of child labor and its worst forms. It seeks to provide input and make recommendations to the Third Global Conference on Child Labour, to be held in Brazil in October 2013.
