In 2002, International Labour Organization began this day as World Day Against Child Labour
The World Day Against Child Labor is an ILO-sanctioned holiday that was first observed in 2002 with the goal of raising awareness and activism to prevent child labour. Ratifications of ILO Conventions No. 138 on the minimum age for employment and No. 182 on the worst forms of child labour fueled the movement. Every year on June 12, the World Day Against Child Labor is commemorated to promote the global anti-child labour movement.
