Over a decade ago,the International Labor Organization (ILO) named June 12World Day Against Child Labor. Over 150 million children throughout the world are employed illegally, causing them to miss out on education and the joy that should make up a happy childhood. Child labor is mentally, physically and emotionally draining, and in extreme cases can be classed as enslavement.
World Day Against Child Labor aims to promote awareness of child labour, so spread the world and please visit the ILO’s website for more information.
