World Day Against Child Labor provides an opportunity to gain more support from individual governments and ILO social partners, civil society and others, schools, youth and women’s groups, as well as the media in the campaign against child labor.
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of which is to eliminate child labour in all its forms by the end of 2025. Satyagraha Research Foundation, Fakirana Sisters Society, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Kailash Satyarthi Foundation, Mother Tahira Charitable Trust and various social organisations are determined to take concrete and effective steps in this direction.
It aims to take immediate and effective measures to end bonded labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and ensure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including the recruitment and use of child soldiers. The target is to eliminate child labour from across the world by the end of 2025. According to UN data, even today 160 million children are engaged in child labour – some of whom are under the age of five. Africa, Asia and the Pacific account for nine out of every ten children in child labour worldwide. According to India’s 2011 census, India has 1.01 crore child labourers. On this occasion, the speakers appealed to the United Nations and the world community to create awareness at a concrete and social level to eliminate child labour from the world by 2025 so that we can eliminate child labour from the world through social and Government efforts.
