World Day Against Child Labour is observed every year around the world on 12 June. The aim of
the day is to spread awareness about the illegal practice of child labour that is still
prevalent in the world. The objective of this day is also to spread awareness to eradicate
it completely across the globe.
In the world especially Africa, Child labour still exists and children, mostly from poor
families, are forced to work in dangerous conditions despite facing physical, mental and social
exploitation from employers. Such children are deprived of living their childhood while many
also miss the opportunity of attending schools.Children who are meant to learn now becomes
earners for themselves and families.
This year, the theme of World Day Against Child Labour is 'Act Now: End Child Labour'.
