Stop Child Labour
India Post issued four ₹5 stamps, printed together, on 26 December 2006 against child labour: work that keeps children from school or harms them in body or mind, and is prohibited by law around the world. India’s census of 2011 counted 10.12 million child labourers among its 259.64 million children of that age; worldwide, about 217 million children work, many of them full-time. Each stamp shows a child at work. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
