Every year on June 12th people observe World Day Against Child Labour in order to create awareness among people about the plight of children working as labourers
Child labour is one of the most prominent issues that our country faces. The term child labour refers to the work that is mentally, physically, socially, or morally dangerous and harmful to children. The term also emphasises the fact that any work which interferes with a child's schooling is considered child labour. In India, forcefully making children below the age to work is considered a crime, and action can be taken. In order to create awareness regarding child labour, people across the globe observe World Day Against Child Labour, also known as Anti-Child Labour Day on June 12 every year. The day aims to create awareness regarding the plight of child labor and many campaigns are also run to help them
The International Labour Organization (ILO) launched the first World Day Against Child Labour in 2002 as a way to highlight the plight of these children. The day, which is observed on June 12th, is intended to serve as a catalyst for the growing worldwide movement against child labour.
12th June 2022 marks the World Day Against Child Labour under the theme “Universal Social Protection to End Child Labour.” On this day, the ILO, together with its constituents and partners, is calling for increased investment in social protection systems and schemes to establish solid social protection floors and protect children from child labour. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are about 152 million children globally who are engaged in child labour, 72 million of whom are in hazardous work.
