On this World Day Against Child Labor, we partner with members of the International community to reiterate our commitment to ending exploitative child labor around the world, with a particular recognition of the important relationship between eliminating child labor, and promoting broader human rights.
在世界无童工日这一天，我们与国际社会一道重申我们制止世界各地剥削童工劳动的行为的承诺，并特别指出制止童工劳动与推进人权之间的重要关系。The most recent estimate by the International Labor Organization (ILO) suggests that 215 million boys and girls are involved in child labor throughout the world, often in hazardous and exploitative conditions. The U.S. Department of State's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices and the annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report call attention to global trends in child labor each year.
根据国际劳工组织的最新估算数字，世界各地现有2.15亿男女童工，他们经常在有害的环境中工作并遭受剥削。美国国务院发布的《各国人权报告》和年度《人口贩运问题报告》呼吁有关各方关注每年全球各地使用童工的趋势。As Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has stressed, "The exploitation of children anywhere should be a concern to people everywhere." Children in situations of exploitative child labor are deprived education, and lack the opportunities to rise to their full potential and lift themselves, their families and their communities out of a cycle of poverty.
正如希拉里·克林顿国务卿所指出的:"任何地方对儿童的剥削都应当为各地人民所关注。"沦为童工遭受剥削的儿童被剥夺了受教育的权利，他们缺乏发挥出自己的全部潜能并让自己及家庭和社区摆脱贫困的恶性循环的机会。It is essential to continue to strengthen efforts to abolish child labor to ensure that the world's children remain free from exploitation. Through its labor diplomacy efforts in diplomatic missions, as well as key partnerships at home and abroad, the Department of State will continue to promote labor rights, and develop and implement effective approaches to combat exploitative child labor.
必须继续加强努力废除童工劳动，确保世界上的儿童不受剥削。国务院将通过其外交使团以及国内外的关键伙伴关系展开劳工外交工作来继续倡导劳工权利，制定并执行打击剥削童工行为的有效方针。
