On the occasion of the World Day Against Child Labor.. 

Dr. El-Minshawy: Assiut University renews its commitment to protecting children and promoting awareness and community education

Dr. Ahmed El-Minshawy, president of Assiut University, stressed that the International Day Against Child Labor, which falls on June 12 every year, is a very important occasion to highlight the suffering of children who are forced to work at an early age, in environments that threaten their health, hinder their education and violate their childhood. He pointed out that the ILO has launched this day since 2002 in order to mobilize efforts to confront this dangerous phenomenon, and to emphasize that the protection of children is the cornerstone of any sustainable development.

He added that this event renews the call to assume collective responsibility in the fight against child labor, stressing that Assiut University puts childhood issues at the heart of its community role, and constantly seeks to raise awareness of children's rights and enhance their protection from all forms of exploitation.

He explained that the University contributes to addressing this phenomenon by integrating it into the axes of scientific research, awareness-raising activities carried out by its faculties, as well as community partnerships aimed at protecting children within the community.

Dr. El-Minshawy pointed out that Assiut University continues to support the efforts of the Egyptian state to contribute to building community awareness that respects the right of children to education and ensures a safe environment for growth and development
