Every year on June 12 activities are held throughout Asia and the Pacific to mark World Day against Child Labour. The theme for this year is: “Give girls a chance: End child labour”, and the ILO has released a new report: Give girls a chance: Tackiling child labour, a key to the future.

2009 has a special importance for the fight against child labour because it marks the 10th anniversary of Convention No. 182, on the Worst Forms of Child Labour.
