World Day Against Child Labour - 12 June

“Let the children come to me and do not prevent them, because for such is the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:16)

On the World Day Against Child Labour, “The Christ of Mercy cared for the children, protecting them to the utmost in addition to stressing the importance of their psychological and social maintenance… Christianity, the protector of humanity, especially the advocate of groups at risk… is called upon not to allow any unjust phenomenon harmful to man to pass unnoticed and consequently be allowed to spread”.

From the message of the MECC Secretary General Dr. Michel Abs entitled “Childhood Between Christianity and the Labor Market” published in the MECC Weekly Newsletter “Momentum”
