Unverified non-profit organisation

The International Initiative on Exploitative Child Labor (IIECL), also commonly known as the International Initiative to End Child Labor, is a United States-based, not-for-profit organization, founded in 1998 and incorporated in 1999.

Its mission is to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in the U.S. and around the world by promoting awareness-raising of the problem of child labor both nationally and internationally in the following sectors: agriculture; formal industry; informal businesses; trafficking and prostitution; soldiering; domestic servitude; street begging, selling or vendoring; and orphans, other vulnerable children, migrants and refugees.

IIECL conducts and/or provides education, training, technical assistance, capacity building, research, social accountability auditing, resources, program planning and design, and monitoring and evaluation services to public and private sector, non-governmental organizations, and international research and development institutions that seek to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in the United States and around the world.

IIECL assists private entities with the development, implementation, evaluation and/or improvement of their Social Accountability Standards and conduct auditing of their labor and production practices. It also works in partnership with local community-based, non-governmental organizations or other interested entities as they seek to identify and/or ameliorate exploitative child labor in their communities and nations, and provides technical support to help improve their capacity to provide more effective services.
