World Day Against Child Labour

What is World Day Against Child Labour?

World Day Against Child Labour is a day where people worldwide come together to discuss the importance of helping children, reminding us that every child deserves to grow up happy and safe without having to work too hard. Child Labour is when children work when they should be playing and going to school, restricting them from learning, playing and being with their families.
