2002年，国际劳工组织在日内瓦将每年的6月12日定为“世界反对童工日”，以引起世人对数百万在恶劣环境中出卖劳动力的孩子的关注。今年的主题是“结束童工，我们共同可以做到”，重点是消除农业中的童工劳动现象。在全世界，农业是存在童工数量最大的行业，几乎占全部童工数量的70％。全球大约有超过1.32亿、年龄在四五岁的男童与女童在农场和种植园工作，从事种植和收割农作物、喷洒农药、照料牲畜等工作。

In a sweatshop in south Delhi an 8-year-old child and a young boy use a special tool to sew crystals into saris on Friday, March 23, 2007. There are more than 12.6 million child laborers in India. The huge popularity of swarovski in India has spawned a massive counterfeit crystal industry across the subcontinent. Anti-sweatshop campaigners say the "vogue" for the embroidered crystals on garments of all kinds, from jeans to saris, has directly led to the exploitation of tens of thousands of schoolchildren who sadly remain the most adept at hand-stitching the glass beads into clothing.
