Child labour refers to the employment of children in the work that deprives them of their childhood, interferes with the education, and is harmful to their physical and mental development. It is prevalent in various sectors including agriculture, domestic work, construction and industries.
Child labour is the violation of human rights that demands urgent action. While progress has made, sustained efforts are necessary to ensure every child enjoys a safe, healthy and educated childhood. Government, communities and individuals must work together to create a world where children are nurtured not exploited. By prioritising education, enforcing laws, and addressing poverty, we can pave the way for future free from child labour.
