Child Labor in Pakistan

by Faizan Ahmed, Karachi, Pakistan

Hello Yash,

What you want to know about child labor in Pakistan? The situation in Pakistan is very bad; I already told the problems about child labor in Pakistan in my project.

There are many children under 15 are working at many places:

· children working at restaurant.
· children selling flowers on road.
· children working at auto workshop.
· children are working at handicraft centre.
· children are working at little boot factory.

These were the 5 main places of children working, there are many other points where children are working.

If a child employed is a future destroyed. What a great sentence to express the problem of child labour. Child labour is a curse for that person who makes a child labour. Every child should be treated equally. We should fight against child labour. There are many reasons of child labour.

A child works if:

1) Her/his parents does not work.
2) He/she does not have any guardian.
3) He/she may have financial problem.
4) Her/his guardian may not earn enough money so they worked.

We should work to reduce child labour. Every child has a right to study and play in his childhood.Share your ideas with me.

These are pics of an Afghan kid of just 10 years.
He gathers pollution from different areas and
separates recyclable things and exchanges them with money.
Can you imagine the future of this child????
