Finnish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet wrote yesterday about the Global Child Forum
The Royal Foundation has investigated how companies take children's rights into account - many are careless
- According to Unicef, there were 160 million children who worked at the beginning of 2020. Covid has increased that by 9 million, says Queen Silvia during the Global Child Forum. It has investigated the biggest brands in the grocery trade and the companies' results are not particularly flattering.
Global Child Forum is the Swedish Royal House's Foundation and a forum for children's rights issues that was founded in 2009. In order to get a picture of how well business considers children's rights, comparisons are made - key figure measurements - with a number of indicators such as surroundings and environmental issues.
