World Day Against Child Labour | 12 June
Every child deserves a childhood filled with learning, laughter, safety, and opportunities—not labour.
Despite significant progress, millions of children around the world continue to be engaged in child labour, depriving them of their rights to education, protection, health, and development. Child labour not only robs children of their childhood but also limits their potential and perpetuates cycles of poverty and inequality.
On this World Day Against Child Labour, let us renew our commitment to ensuring that every child is in school, protected from exploitation, and empowered to achieve their dreams.
Together, governments, communities, families, schools, and young people can create a future where no child is forced to work and every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
