Cartoonists from all over the world will have the opportunity to shed light on the injustice of forced labour, through a global cartoon competition.
The competition, launched on 10 March, aims to raise awareness of forced labour through striking images and visual messages that need little or no words.
It is being organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Human Resources Without Borders (RHSF), in collaboration with Cartooning for Peace.
Did you know that tens of millions of people all over the world are subjected to working conditions that amount to a modern form of slavery? Forced labour is a violation of human rights, it is one of the most extreme forms of exploitation at work. And we all have a role to play to prevent it at our own level, as companies, consumers, citizens, States, workers… or cartoonists! Cartoonists can create cartoons that will raise awareness, inspire action and emphasize the urgent need to eradicate this severe violation of human rights.
The winning cartoonists will be interviewed by the ILO and their cartoons will be featured on the ILO, RHSF and Cartooning for Peace websites. Their cartoons will also be used to develop a major publication and an exhibition to raise awareness on forced labour.
Join the international cartoon competition on forced labour and submit your cartoons by 10th April 2021 Midnight CET time.
