Fight against child labor

For ACPA, the welfare and future of children is one of the highest priorities in cotton farming. We believe that every child has the right to education and healthy growth.

Measures and initiatives against child labor in cotton

Prevention of child labor It is one of the main activities of ACPA. For this purpose, educational programs are implemented to prevent the involvement of children in agricultural work. Training and information sessions for farmers and families increase their responsibility. Social initiatives that encourage children to stay in school are also supported.

Education and support for the future is also of special importance. ACPA supports programs aimed at expanding educational opportunities and contributes to the development of children's skills through community-based projects. This approach serves both their education and their development as individuals useful to society in the future.

Obligations of Azerbaijan is clear in this direction. Although some projects are still in their infancy, ACPA fully supports the fight against child labor and plans to take large-scale steps in this field in the coming years. The goal is to ensure that only adults participate in agriculture, and children focus only on education and development.
