World Day Against Child Labour was launched by the International Labour Organization in 2002. The global awareness day focuses on acknowledging the child labor issue and take the actions necessary to eliminate it. The International Labour Organization, together with the United Nations, plan to abolish all Child Labour activities by 2025. The World Day Against Child Labour happens every year on June 12th.
"Universal Social Protection to End Child Labour"
12 June marks the World Day Against Child Labour under the theme “Universal Social Protection to End Child Labour.” On this day, the ILO, together with its constituents and partners, is calling for increased investment in social protection systems and schemes to establish solid social protection floors and protect children from child labour.
Social protection is both a human right and a potent policy tool to prevent families from resorting to child labour in times of crisis. However, as of 2020 and before the COVID-19 crisis took hold, only 46.9 per cent of the global population were effectively covered by at least one social protection benefit. Coverage for children is even lower. Nearly three quarters of children, 1.5 billion, lacked social protection.
