The World Day Against Child Labour is observed globally every year on June 12 to raise awareness and promote action against child labour. In 2024, the ILO and UNICEF released a report revealing that 138 million children were engaged in child labour, emphasizing the urgent need for accelerated efforts. The theme "Progress is clear, but there’s more to do: let’s speed up efforts!" highlights both achievements and the ongoing challenges in eliminating child labour. This day serves as a crucial reminder to strengthen policies and interventions protecting children's rights worldwide.
