World Day Against Child Labour
International observance, June 12
The World Day Against Child Labour is an International Labour Organization (ILO)-sanctioned holiday first launched in 2002[1] aiming to raise awareness and activism to prevent child labour. It was spurred by ratifications of ILO Convention No. 138[2] on the minimum age for employment and ILO Convention No. 182[3] on the worst forms of child labour.
The World Day Against Child Labour, which is held every year on June 12,[4] is intended to foster the worldwide movement against child labour.[5]
