June 12- International Day Against Child Labour

This year's global theme is "Protect children from child labour now more than ever".

In Ghana, the theme has been domesticated as: "Intensify action against child labour. Do it now! Do it fast!"

Marked annually on June 12^th the International Labour Organization established World Day Against Child Labour, which is a holiday instituted by the United Nations to bring attention to the plight of child labourers around the world, and the need for a concerted effort to end all forms of child labour.

Since 2002, the International Labour Organization (I.L.O.) has urged the world community to take immediate and effective actions to abolish and prohibit the use of child labor in any form. For the I.L.O. to meet its goal of eliminating child labor by 2025, much work has to be done.

World Day Against Child Labour

As of 2020 it was recorded that The I.L.O and UNICEF had estimated over 160 million children engaged in child labour across the globe.

Child labor, in its most extreme forms, enslaves children, separates them from their families, exposes them to serious risks and illnesses, and/or leaves them to fend for themselves on the streets of large cities, frequently at a young age.

Let us Intensify Action Against Child Labour!

Let us Do it Now!

Let us Do it Fast!
