On June 12, people across the globe observe World Day Against Child Labour to raise awareness and combat child exploitation. The day reminds us that every child deserves education, play, and protection—not work in dangerous conditions.
Why It Matters
According to the International Labour Organization, millions of children around the world still face exploitation. Many are forced to leave school and take up jobs to support their families. Child labour often involves long hours and poor working conditions. It affects their health, growth, and chances for a better future. Children are often underpaid and have no protection or rights at work.
Ending child labour is not only a moral duty. It is also necessary for building a just and educated society. Children should be in schools, not factories or farms.
What Can Be Done
Governments must make strong laws to protect children and ensure education is a priority. Parents, too, need support to earn enough so their children don’t have to work.
Communities and organizations can raise awareness and report illegal child labour practices. Each person has a responsibility to help safeguard the rights of children.
Companies should inspect their supply chains to make sure no child labour is involved at any stage. Responsible choices by consumers can also make a big difference.
World Day Against Child Labour represents more than a calendar event—it’s a symbol of global commitment to end child labour.
It is a reminder of a global promise to protect the future of children. We all have a collective responsibility to prevent children from being pushed into labour. All children deserve a joyful and secure childhood.
