WORLD DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR
The World Day Against Child Labour is observed every year on 12 June to raise awareness of child exploitation and mobilize efforts to abolish it worldwide. First declared in 2002, the day emphasizes the need to create an environment where children can grow, learn, and live in dignity, not work. It supports the goal of ending child labour in all its forms by 2025 under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8.7. World Day Against Child Labor aims to focus attention on the global extent of child labour and the action and efforts needed to eliminate it. Each year on 12 June, the Day brings together governments, employers and worker organizations, and civil society, as well as millions of people from around the world to highlight the plight of child labourers and what can be done to help them. This International Day was launched by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2002. About 152 million children globally are in child labour, almost one in ten. This figure reinforces the urgency of the campaign. Each year, the day brings together governments, civil society, and citizens in the shared belief that every child deserves a safe and secure future.
World Day Against child labour Day was conducted by the physical science students. They delivered a speech in the morning assembly reflecting the history and importance of this day. They created posters on child labour prevention.
