Every year on June 12, the world comes together for the World Day Against Child Labour.
每年6月12日，全球共同響應「世界無童工日」。
Launched by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2002, this international observance aims to highlight the global crisis of child labour and mobilize efforts to end it once and for all.
該紀念日由國際勞工組織（ILO）於2002年發起，旨在凸顯全球性的童工危機，並動員各界努力將其徹底終結。
While we have seen significant progress—with the number of children in exploitative conditions dropping by nearly half since 2000—there are still millions of children trapped in work that is mentally, physically, or morally harmful.
儘管我們已見證了顯著的進展——自2000年以來，處於剝削環境下的兒童人數減少了近一半——但仍有數百萬名兒童受困於在精神、身體或道德上具有危害性的勞動中。
Child labour is often driven by poverty and a lack of quality education.
童工問題往往源於貧窮與缺乏優質教育。
Furthermore, the UN has set an ambitious goal to eradicate all forms of child labour by 2025.
此外，聯合國也設定了雄心勃勃的目標，要在2025年之前根除所有形式的童工。
Ending this practice requires more than just good intentions; it demands stronger legal frameworks, social protection for families, and business accountability.
結束這種行為不僅需要良好的意圖，更需要更強健的法律架構、對家庭的社會保障，以及企業的當責性。
By ensuring that parents have access to decent, fair-paying work, we can empower families to keep their children in school, where they belong, rather than in the workforce.
透過確保家長能獲得體面且薪資公平的工作，我們能賦予家庭力量，讓孩子們留在屬於他們的學校環境中，而非步入勞動力市場。
