About World Day Against Child Labour
The International Labour Organization (ILO) launched the first World Day Against Child Labour in 2002 as a way to highlight the plight of these children. The day, which is observed on June 12 every year, is intended to serve as a catalyst for the growing worldwide movement to end child labour.
ILO, the United Nations body that regulates the world of work, launched it to bring attention to and join efforts to fight against child labour. The day provides an opportunity to gain further support from individual governments and that of the ILO social partners, civil society and others, including schools, youth and women's groups as well as the media, in the campaign against child labour.
In 2015 the UN general assembly adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of which was to eliminate child labour in all forms by 2025.
