Happy World Day Against Child Labour!
The theme for World Day Against Child Labour 2026, “Red card to child labour: Fair play for children, decent work for adults,” uses the powerful symbol of a red card in sports to send a clear message: child labour is unacceptable and must be stopped.
Just as a referee uses a red card to remove unfair play from a game, society must reject practices that deprive children of their rights, education, health, and childhood.
