June 11, 2019: Each year on June 12, the International Labour Organization (ILO) commemorates the World Day Against Child Labour to focus global attention on the extent of child labour and the actions needed to eliminate it.

For the truth is obvious: Child marriage is child labour within the ILO's own definition. (Photo: UN/Martine Perret)
