World Day Against Child Labour: Ayushmann Khurrana Says Children Belong To Schools, Not Factories Says “Each One Of Us Has A Role To Play”

Ayushmann Khurrana is basking in the success of his career. The actor was last seen in Thappad director Anubhav Sinha directorial Anek which received a mixed response from critics and audiences. While his last film faced a failure at the box office, he recently spoke about World Day Against Child Labour. The actor believes we all should come together to eradicate child labour.

On World Day Against Child Labour, actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is roped in by the UNICEF as their Celebrity Advocate for the global campaign Ending Violence Against Children (EVAC), has set the agenda for eradication of child labour in our country.

Ayushmann says, “Children belong to schools and playgrounds, not workshops, factories, agricultural fields or as domestic labourers. Child labour violates their rights and deprives them of their education, growth and opportunities. It also makes them vulnerable to injuries, exploitation and abuse.”

Ayushmann added: “Children who have the opportunity to go to school regularly, have a better earning potential in the future, helping end the intergenerational cycle of poverty.
