Stop child labour, we want education

Stop child labour, we want education

On this coming 12 June 2018,whole world is going to mark this day how to abolish the “child labour” blot on Humanity .The term “child labour” is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. 

The International Labour Organization (ILO) launched the first World Day Against Child Labour in 2002 as a way to highlight the plight of children engaged in work that deprives them of adequate education, health, leisure and basic freedoms, violating their rights

If the children are still trapped in the international supply chains, if the children are still enslaved, if the children are still sold and bought like animals – sometimes for less than the price of animals – to work in the fields and farms, and shops and factories, or for households as domestic workers, this is a blot on humanity.Child labour is not an issue that will be solved by someone else, we all here have the power to change. We must remember that it's urgent - children cannot wait, but it's possible. @k_satyarthi at the #ILC2018 celebrating World Day Against Child Labour and #20YearsofGlobalMarch . I can still hear the chants & shouts of children of the world, “Stop child labour, we want education” walking into these halls of UN Palace in 1998. Since that day, a lot has been achieved but world still has 152 million child labourers ;- Nobel Peace Laureate. Founder - Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation, Kailash Satyarthi
