The world pledged to end child labour by 2025.

There are 10,000 children in Madagascar who, like Tenasoa, work in the largely unregulated mica industry. The silicate is used in paints, car parts, and cosmetics – to add a “shimmer” effect. Alongside parents and grandparents, these children toil in dangerous conditions, inhaling harmful dust particles and entering structurally unsound tunnels. Many of them have dropped out of school – if they ever went at all. “If we don’t work, we don’t eat,” Soja, Tenasoa’s grandfather, said. “It’s very simple.

Every 12 June , the International Labour Organization joins forces with ILO constituents and partners around the world to commemorate the World Day Against Child Labour . This year’s theme reflects both the progress achieved and the urgency to intensify action to meet global target s. The 2025 World Day will focus on a key milestone: the release of the 2025 global estimates and trends of child labour . This ILO and UNICEF joint report will provide a comprehensive overview of where we stand in our global commitments to eliminate child labour . Although the detailed data are not yet available, the estimates and trends identified will guide policy debates and calls for renewed commitment and investment. On this World Day, we will call for full ratification of ILO Convention No. 138 on the Minimum Age and the implementation of ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour .
