World Day Against Child Labour

-

 Every year 12 June is observed as World Day against child Labour since 2002. Over 160 million children all over the world are engaged in Child Labour.The Significance of the World Day Against Child Labour is to pay attention to the problem of child labour and to find ways to eradicate it. The day is used to spread awareness about the harmful mental and physical problems faced by children forced into child labour, all over the world.


Children around the world are routinely engaged in paid and unpaid forms of work that are not harmful to them. However, they are classified as child labourers when they are either too young to work, or are involved in hazardous activities that may compromise their physical, mental, social or educational development. In the least developed countries, slightly more than one in four children (ages 5 to 17) are engaged in labour that is considered detrimental to their health and development.




Africa ranks highest among regions both in the percentage of children in child labour — one-fifth — and the absolute number of children in child labour — 72 million. Asia and the Pacific ranks second highest in both these measures — 7% of all children and 62 million in absolute terms are in child labour in this region.


The Africa and the Asia and the Pacific regions together account for almost nine out of every ten children in child labour worldwide. The remaining child labour population is divided among the Americas (11 million), Europe and Central Asia (6 million), and the Arab States (1 million). In terms of incidence, 5% of children are in child labour in the Americas, 4% in Europe and Central Asia, and 3% in the Arab States.


While the percentage of children in child labour is highest in low-income countries, their numbers are actually greater in middle-income countries. 9% all children in lower-middle-income countries, and 7% of all children in upper-middle-income countries, are in child labour. Statistics on the absolute number of children in child labour in each national income grouping indicate that 84 million children in child labour, accounting for 56% of all those in child labour, actually live in middle-income countries, and an additional 2 million live in high-income countries. 



Literally Childern are suffocating and being tortured. They too have right to education, right to enjoy, right to live independent so we should Stand against Child Labour. Let's make this day special for someone.

Every year 24th May is observed as ‘National Brothers Day’ since 2005. Brother is not a single word but it defines a feeling. When it’s brother’s day so we can call our brothers and tell them how much we love them and how weird they are as we always do-:) The word ‘Brother’ stems from German word ‘Brothar’ which itself comes from European root ‘Bhrater’ and also some people claim it to be taken from ancient Hindi word ‘Bhrata’ which means Brother. But according to me brothers are the once who bother us. When you are younger than your brother then you can enjoy annoying them and when you’re Elder brother then you can order them using your powers. Brotherhood is very strong among men whether it is blood relation or not, men take their ‘bro code’ very seriously. There isn’t much that important that can ever come between a strong brotherhood bond. They’re our closest friend sometimes the most annoying person we know but we love them anyway. If you’re blessed with a brother then this is the...
