Megastar Chiranjeevi, the iconic figure in Indian cinema, has always been known for his philanthropic efforts and social consciousness. On the occasion of International Labour Day, he took to social media to share a post highlighting the importance of eradicating child labour and supporting the rights of young children.
In his recent post shared on social media platforms, Megastar Chiranjeevi referenced the “Chinni Chethulu” campaign initiated by the International Labour Organization (ILO), which aims to address the issue of child labour globally. The campaign underscores the significance of ensuring that children are not subjected to exploitative labour practices but are instead given the opportunity to grow, learn, and enjoy their childhood.
The post, shared in both English and Telugu, emphasized the need to say NO to child labour and urged everyone to join hands in the fight against this social injustice. With the caption “22 సంవత్సరాల క్రితం … పసి పిల్లలని పని పిల్లలుగా చేయొద్దని,” which translates to “For 22 years… Let’s make child workers into child,” Chiranjeevi echoed the sentiments of the ILO campaign, advocating for a future where children are free to pursue their dreams without the burden of exploitative labour.
Labour Day, also known as May Day, holds significant importance globally as it commemorates the contributions of workers and the labor movement. It serves as a reminder to acknowledge the rights and dignity of laborers across various sectors. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s decision to share this message on such a day amplifies the urgency of addressing the issue of child labour and promoting a society where every child has access to education, safety, and opportunities for growth.
Through his influential voice and social media presence, Megastar Chiranjeevi continues to champion causes that resonate with societal welfare and human rights. His advocacy against child labour not only raises awareness but also inspires action towards building a more equitable and compassionate world.
As we commemorate International Labour Day, let us heed the call to stand against child labour and strive towards creating a future where every child can thrive and fulfill their potential. Happy May Day to all!
