World Day Against Child Labour

Posted On: 12th Jun 2026

On World Day Against Child Labour, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child enjoys a safe childhood, quality education, and opportunities to grow with dignity.

Children belong in classrooms, playgrounds, and loving environments—not in workplaces.

This year’s theme, “Red Card to Child Labour: Fair Play for Children, Decent Work for Adults,” reminds us that protecting children is a shared responsibility.

Together, let us create a world where every child can learn, dream, and thrive.
