Application for media accreditation for the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour

As part of a larger effort to scale up action to end child labour, South Africa is hosting an international child labour conference.

From 15-20 May 2022, the Government of South Africa, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO), will host the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labor.

The registration for media accreditation for the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour is now open.

Members of the media are invited to apply for accreditation to cover the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour, which will take place from May 15-20, 2022, at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Province.

The conference will build on four previous Global Conferences, held in Buenos Aires (2017), Brasilia (2013), The Hague (2010), and Oslo (1997), which raised awareness of the issue, mobilised resources, and established a strategic direction for the global movement against child labour.

South Africa's hosting of the conference is consistent with SDG 8.7, which calls for the abolition of all forms of child labour by 2025 and the abolition of forced labour, modern slavery, and human trafficking by 2030.

Please find an accreditation template to complete to be considered by the State Security Agency's (SSA), and to avoid any inconveniences in accessing entry to the venue.

Because the conference is aimed at international, national, and local media, space for media attendance is limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis to those who applied and registered.

Please keep in mind that the submission deadline is Friday, 29 April 2022, at 12:00, Central African Time (CAT).

The media application for the accreditation template should be completed completely, and the type of space required should be mentioned in the email, for example, space for OB, etc.
