Child LabourBy Fatima Majeed

Class VIII-E

What is Child Labour?

Cruelty is taking place all over the world, in different forms…but the worst amongst them is child labour.

Children are being tortured in different ways and poverty annoys them as well…

…a typical Pakistani earns barely $5 per day. 

Children as old as seven work in Garages, They fix and mend tiers, wash cars and do

other loads of work, that are not meant for their age

They work at construction sites and help in carrying cement, collecting bricks. They work throughout the day lifting and pushing heavy weights.

…and that’s not all, these innocent children stroll all day at markets to carry bags in order to get a few rupees per day.

Whether its Karachi or any other corner of Pakistan, you will

definitely find kids up to seven years old working hard all day.

And so these innocent childrenusually face

Physical and Physiologicalabnormalities

The most disappointing fact of all is that Children do have rights but they are being ignored.
