The global Music Against Child Labour Initiative was launched in 2013 by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI), International Federation of Musicians (FIM), FESNOJIV and a host of international music personalities. The campaign calls on musicians, bands, ensembles, orchestras and choirs to dedicate concerts and songs to the fight against child labour. By doing so we are able to raise awareness around one of the most important issues of our time and move one step closer to eliminating child labour once and for all.
We thank you in advance for your support and look forward to hearing your music!
