The event, which is taking place at national level, in Brava has the partnership of the Municipal Committee for the Defense of the Rights of Children and Adolescents and the National Police.

"Primary and secondary school children are taking part in this operation in order to raise awareness among drivers and communities, but also to alert them to the danger and consequences of child labor. In the meantime, we're taking the opportunity to put into practice the campaign called 'Don't give money to minors', because they can be addictive and have other consequences," he said.

For her part, first-year student Riane Sousa said that they are warning people that children belong in school and that they should not be victims of child labor.

"Children shouldn't work, they should study and adults shouldn't give money to minors because this can become an addiction and can later have various negative consequences in their lives," she concluded.

According to the latest figures released by the National Statistics Institute (INE), in partnership with the International Labor Organization (ILO) and ICCA, child labor affects 4,900 children in Cape Verde, which corresponds to 4.2% of the population aged between 5 and 17.
