Initiation
of World Day Against Child labor 

World
Day Against Child Labor
was founded in 2002 by the International Labor
Organization. According to a report, millions of children around the world are
forced to work due to domestic conditions. The victims of child labor are
between the ages of 5 and 15. Many of these children come from poor families
where they do not have access to education and adequate food. 

According
to the World Labor Organization, the majority of children in the category of
child labor are found in carpet weaving, making bangles, making surgical
instruments, picking rubbish, dyeing leather, and working at home. 

Children
from poor families are also deprived of basic amenities like education, health,
clean water, and adequate food. At the age when children should have toys and
books in their hands, they have been provided with labor tools. 

Conclusion 

I
urge the people to support the parents of the children for their education,
health, and nutrition instead of taking hard work from them. So that they can
play a positive role in the future. 

Finally,
my question to the leaders of all the governments of the world, and especially
to the current ruler, is that on the one hand, a budget of billions of rupees
is being presented in Pakistan, on the other hand, millions of children in all
over the world especially in Asian countries and also in Pakistan are forced to
work. What is the use of issuing so many notifications regarding child labor
and celebrating International Children’s Day when their implementation is zero?
