It is deeply unfortunate that millions of Pakistani children endure poverty and are forced into labour, a harsh reality persisting for years. These children work in factories due to dire economic conditions, often in extreme heat without basic rights like food or education. Imagine the plight of a child carrying heavy bricks under scorching sun without shelter or water. Many suffer abuse, even death, at the hands of their employers.
We need child labour legislation to be implemented. Despite existing laws, little is done to prevent these injustices. The government must act decisively to end this modern-day slavery, holding perpetrators accountable and providing justice for the victims. How many more children must suffer before we see change?
