To raise awareness on the plight of child labour, which today traps a shocking 152 million children in the world, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the International Partnership for Cooperation on ending Child Labour in Agriculture (IPCCLA), has produced the talk Meant to (L)earn: a discussion about child labour in agriculture.
 
The talk is hosted by the journalist and presenter Valériane Gauthier, of France 24 who will discuss with guests the extent of child labour in agriculture and the action needed to eliminate this violation of human rights.

In addition to experts from FAO, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations (IUF), the discussion includes:

·       Nadine Labaki, multi-award winning Lebanese director, actress and activist whose movie Capernaum, tells the story of a 12-year-old boy living and working in the slums of Beirut, and
 
·       Molly Namirembe, a former child labourer and committed children rights’ activist.
