Releasing the report at a media conference in Kabul, Commission Chairperson Dr Sima Samar said child labourers were deprived of their education, deprived of opportunities for recreation and could be separated from their families.

Some children were also at risk of human trafficking, Dr Samar noted.

The Commission's report included recommendations to the strengthen the economic sector and improve family incomes, in order to reduce the number of children entering the labour market; to establish a special fund to help children access education and health services and improve their nutrition; and to develop a national strategy to combat child labour.
