This episode of the BBC World TV series Survivors Guide goes to Cameroon, where the International Labour Organization has been working to eliminate child labour from cocoa production and help children return to school. This particular video starts with showing that the child featuring in this video does not take any precautions when working with pesticides whilst indicated on the bottles that children and adolescents should not actually be exposed to it because of the health risks. A representative of ILO dicusses the role ILO plays with regard to awareness raising on these and other issues.
