World Day Against Child Labour is an international observance that brings attention to the global extent of child labor and the action and efforts needed to eliminate it. This day focuses on the plight of child laborers and advocates for their rights to education, health, and freedom from exploitation. Activities on this day include awareness-raising campaigns, educational workshops, policy advocacy, and community outreach programs. These events aim to highlight the detrimental impact of child labor on physical and mental development and promote the importance of quality education as a key step in breaking the cycle of poverty and child labor. The day serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to protect children from labor exploitation and to create a world where all children have the opportunity to grow, learn, and play.
