ILO defined child labour[2] as, damage to children’s health, hamper their education and lead to further exploitation and abuse. ILO also defined the worst form of child labour[3] which includes, involving children under 18 into any form of slaver or forced labour, which includes forced recruitment for use in armed conflicts, sexual exploitation like prostitution or pornography, illegal activities like trafficking of drugs, and unreasonable works that jeopardizes their lives health and morals.
