👧🏽👦🏾 World Day Against Child Labour 2025 🌍 | June 12
🎨📚✍ A scream for justice shouldn't come from a child’s silence, but from our collective voice!
Today, we raise our voices louder than ever to support the #SCREAMProgramme — Supporting Children’s Rights through #Education, the #Arts, and the #Media — an initiative that doesn't just speak for children, but speaks with them. 🗣💪
Even in #2025, 160 million children — that’s nearly 1 in 10 kids worldwide — are still trapped in #ChildLabour. 🧱🔧⛏ Not #Childhood. Not #Education. Just labour. 😞
➡ From the dusty brick kilns in South Asia to the mines in Africa…
➡ From the hidden garment factories to urban street corners...
Children are being robbed of their #Dreams, #Dignity, and #Development. 💔
But here's the truth 👇
💡 #ChildLabour is not just a #Poverty issue. It's a #Policy issue. A #Protection issue. A #People issue.
The new 2025 global report by #ILO & #UNICEF 📊 will shine a stark spotlight on the progress — and the gaps — in our global fight to eliminate #ChildLabour. And it couldn’t come at a more critical moment.
⚠ #EconomicInequality, post-pandemic recovery, ongoing conflicts — all have pushed families to desperate corners, and children into labour.
🌍 #MiddleIncomeCountries shockingly account for more than 50% of child labourers globally. This isn't a "developing world" issue. It's a #HumanRights emergency.
🔥 But there is hope.
✅ The #ILO calls for full ratification of #Convention138 (Minimum Age) and full implementation of #Convention182 (Worst Forms of Child Labour).
✅ The #DurbanCallToAction urges strengthened #Prevention, #Protection, and #Partnerships.
And YOU — yes, you reading this — can play a role. 🤝
💥 Support community programs like #SCREAM.
💥 Educate the next generation.
💥 Speak up when you see #Injustice.
