Established in 2002, the World Day Against Child Labour is an internationally recognized holiday sanctioned by the International Labour Organization (ILO). Its primary goal is to promote awareness and activism to combat child labour, spurred by the ratifications of ILO Convention No. 138, addressing the minimum age for employment, and ILO Convention No. 182, focusing on the worst forms of child labour.

Observed annually on June 12, the World Day Against Child Labour is dedicated to advancing the global movement against child labour.
