Absolutely. I'll wind it up.
For cotton production there is less visibility. There are some 100 million cotton farms, and in developing countries, these tend to be small plots of land of 0.5 hectares to one hectare. It's often family labour, and that brings with it the risk of child labour.
In sub-Saharan Africa and in China, these small holder farms predominate.
There has been a history of state-led mobilization of child labour in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and that has had particularly serious consequences, although there is evidence that is changing.
The ILO has made tackling child labour in cotton-growing communities a priority, with projects under way in countries, including Uzbekistan, Mali, Peru, Pakistan, and India. There are significant health and safety risks associated with cotton growing.
By way of conclusion, for the ILO, addressing child labour and forced child labour in supply chains is a priority. We know that without accelerated progress in these areas we won't reach the sustainable development goal target of the elimination of all forms of child labour by 2025.
Thank you.
