Abstract: The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs (DOL/ILAB) seeks to collect information from the public as part of a process for nominating candidates for The United States Department of Labor's Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labor. The Iqbal Masih Award is a non-monetary award in recognition of exceptional efforts to reduce the worst forms of child labor. The award is in response to Senate Committee (Significant Report 110-107 DM/ILAB) language in fiscal year 2008, directing the Secretary of Labor to establish an annual non-monetary award recognizing the extraordinary efforts by an individual, company, organization or national government toward the reduction of the worst forms of child labor. The award shall be named, "The United States Department of Labor's Iqbal Masih Award for the Elimination of Child Labor." The award's two major goals are to: a) honor and give public recognition to a recipient demonstrating extraordinary efforts to combat the worst forms of child labor internationally; and b) identify those who share qualities demonstrated by Iqbal Masih, including leadership, courage, integrity, and a search to end the labor exploitation of children and raise awareness about the worst forms of child labor internationally.
