World Day Against Child Labour

"Children are meant to learn, not to earn."
Today our school observed World Day Against Child Labour – an ILO-sanctioned day first launched in 2002 to raise awareness and activism against child labour.
Our students took the lead!
A powerful Nukkad Natak was prepared and performed by students of Classes 8–10 to highlight how child labour steals childhood, dreams, and the right to education.
Key messages from the skit:
"Kitaben do, auzar nahi" – Give books, not tools
Every child belongs in school, not at a worksite
Education is the strongest weapon against exploitation
Say NO to child labour. Say YES to education
The skit showed real situations: a child forced to work at a dhaba, a girl missing school for household work, and how community action + education changed their future.
What can WE do?
Never employ a child under 14 years – it’s illegal
Report child labour on Childline 1098
Support education – help 1 child stay in school
Spread awareness – talk, share, act
Our students proved: Bachpan bachao, desh banao!
Proud of our young changemakers from Samba who raised their voice today. The pen is mightier than the hammer. Let children hold pencils, not bricks.
Stop Child Labour. Start Education.
