Tunisia has launched a project dubbed “All Against Child Labor in Tunisia” as part of the government’s efforts to curb child labor in the North African country. At the launch of the All Against Child Labor in Tunisia project, Tunisia’s Minister for Social Affairs, Mohamed Trabelsi, said the country needs a comprehensive national strategy to end child labor. “We can’t talk about a child labor phenomenon today in Tunisia, because there isn’t really any data,” Laabidi noted. Since 2015, the government of Tunisia has stepped up its efforts to fight child labor in the country. It began by adopting the implementation of the Child Labor National Action Plan and later participated in the Global Research Project on Child Labor Measurement and Policy Development.
