12th June: World Day Against Child Labour

World Day against Child Labour is observed on 12th June every year by the International Labour Organization (ILO), to raise awareness against employing child labour and for the rehabilitation of child workers. The first World Day against Child Labour was celebrated in the year 2002. Because of poverty, children are forced to go to work and they are paid less.  Every Year ILO is focusing on a certain theme. 

The set of stamps below was issued in the year 2006 under the theme "End of Child Labour: within reach".
