Eliminate Child Labour

World Day Against Child Labour  – June 12

A 9-year-old girl toils under the hot sun, making bricks from morning to night, seven days a week. She was trafficked with her entire family from Bihar, one of the poorest and most underdeveloped states in India, and sold to the owner of a brick-making factory. With no means of escape, and unable to speak the local language, the family is isolated and lives in terrible conditions.

On this World Day Against Child Labour let us make a resolution to put an end to this exploitation of children.
