World Day Against Child Labour 2026
  • The World Day Against Child Labour is observed annually on June 12 to raise awareness and accelerate global efforts against child exploitation. The 2026 theme, “Red Card to Child Labour: Fair Play for Children, Decent Work for Adults,” draws from sports symbolism to reject child labour.
  • It emphasises quality education, universal social protection, decent adult employment, strong labour laws, and tackling poverty. Despite progress, 138 million children remain in child labour globally, including 54 million in hazardous work. The observance builds on the Marrakech Global Framework following the Sixth Global Conference.
