Children are like flowers in a family and future of every nation but in Pakistan children are victim of child labor. Although according to Pakistan law, child labor is not allowed, but like many policies the child labor policy is also buried in official files. From Sindh to Punjab, Khyber pakhtunkha to Baluchistan you will see little kids working as waiter, junior mechanic and beggars. what are we expecting, a new leader to run Pakistan? forget to achieve new leader for Pakistan without solving child labor issues.
There are many reasons behind child labor such as financial crisis in family, a tradition to work not to study, or casting system. Mostly in cities like Lahore, Karachi financial crisis are the main reason but in other areas i saw a tradition to prefer work not education like rural areas of Punjab and Sindh and Sarhad.
Sometimes i feel helpless where i see parents with the statement “parh likh kar kia karna hay jee? Kam hi to karna hai isnay.” It would be acceptable but what about statement like, “k yeh gareeb ka bacha hay or parhna hamaray bacho ka haq hai.” What is it? It is true that some sardars of tribal areas feels kids’ education as threat and they stopped it in their education in their childhood. Isnt it the reason for corrupt voting in elections? Isnt it the reason that why we see same faces on each election?
If you take survey then you will find that, Kids are badly beaten by their owners such as shazia case in lahore, there are many kids who lost their life due to punishment of owner. I mean beating a kid is a way to teach? It is normal reaction when an owner is also non educated or had a wild life, but what happens when an advocate beats her little servant? who will act if peoples from law are working against law?
Child labor would be eliminated from Pakistan but if we takes some policies decisions and be stick with them. From my personal point of view i would love to give some solutions:
Pakistan Zindabad!

- Make a policy to provide free education till graduation level to those who does not study due to financial crisis.
- Run a regular campaign to find young talent in any field, you will find lot of 15 year genius mechanics and others. Train them freely for industries like automobile, textile and etc.
- Create a special placeholder in national budget to provide free facilities for kids.
- Ask government and private universities to implement the law on education students to teach free in any school or madrasah before issuing degree.
- Hire experts to plan and execute your children related policies.
Pakistan Zindabad!
