End Forced labour and Child Labour in Pakistan

The Issue

Pakistan is home to an estimated 12.5 million child labourers, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO). This alarming figure includes children forced into hazardous work, often under conditions akin to modern-day slavery. Additionally, forced labour continues to be a pervasive issue affecting adults and children alike. The Pakistani government must take immediate and decisive action against these human rights abuses. We urge the authorities to enforce stricter regulations on employers, increase penalties for violations of labour laws, and invest in educational initiatives that will provide alternatives for these vulnerable individuals. It's time we stand together against forced and child labour in Pakistan - sign this petition now!
