March in Review & World Day Against Child Labour !

 




World Day Against Child Labour


World Day Against Child Labour is observed annually on June 12. Its purpose is to energize the growing global effort to eliminate child labour.

This year's World Day will focus on celebrating the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (1999, No. 182). 

Although significant strides have been taken in reducing child labour over time, recent years have seen global trends reverse, underscoring the pressing need to unite efforts in expediting actions to eradicate child labour in all its manifestations.

With the adoption of Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7, the international community made a commitment to the elimination of child labour in all its forms by 2025


  • Theme 2024

Let's act on our commitments: End Child Labour !


  • Did you know?





While much progress has been made in reducing child labour over the years, recent years have seen global trends reverse, and, now more than ever it is important to join forces to accelerate action towards ending child labour in all its forms. 

The Africa and the Asia and the Pacific regions together account for almost nine out of every ten children in child labour worldwide. 


Education: 


Children should grow up in environments that promote their health and development. They should not be compelled to engage in manual labour for survival, as this exposes them to physical and emotional harm. Unfortunately, child labour and abuse remain widespread in many impoverished nations.

Teachers have a crucial role on the alert of poverty or child labour and abuse among their students.

Numerous resources can be included into school curricula to inform, inspire and motivate students of all ages, from primary school to high-school, to get involved on a subject so terrible: child labour and child abuse.


Resources:





As part of the Supporting Children's Rights through Education, the Arts and the Media (SCREAM) Program implemented by the ILO to combat child labour, students from British Culture College who are conducting awareness-raising activities composed a song and recorded it in the studio.


 Activities:

You will find an interesting number of Activities on my publication in 2018 to develop with your students inviting them to support the worldwide movement against child labour.


Other resources:

Campaign material on the website ILO
