World Day Against Child Labour

World Day Against Child Labour, observed annually on June 12, aims to raise awareness and inspire action to eliminate child labor worldwide. Child labor involves children performing work that is harmful to their physical and mental development, often depriving them of education and a safe childhood. The day highlights the importance of protecting children's rights, promoting access to quality education, and addressing the root causes of child labor such as poverty and inequality. It serves as a reminder that ending child labor requires coordinated efforts from governments, organizations, communities, and individuals to ensure all children can enjoy safe, healthy, and educational childhoods.
