This event commemorates the 2026 World Day Against Child Labour. Opened by the ILO Director-General, this year's high-level event provides an opportunity for tripartite constituents to showcase country experiences and perspectives on follow up to the Marrakesh Global Framework for Action against Child Labour.

This Framework, adopted at the 6th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour, hosted by the Government of Morocco, provides a roadmap committing governments, employers and workers to accelerated, transformative action against child labour.

The event celebrates the Red Card to Child Labour campaign, with attendees raising Red cards as a stand against child labour.

Interpretation available: English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, German, Russian.
