Child labour

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Child labour is emerging as a big problem in our country. Children are used to work in small hotels, tea stalls, as domestic servants, office boys, and staff assistants.

There are nearly two million families in Pakistan are living in bondages in various sectors and nearly eight million are children supports their families. Though child labour is banned in Pakistan but this law is never implemented. Innocent children are suffering from the curse.

It is the duty of our government and NGOs to come forward to eliminate child labour. Root causes of childlabour should be reduced by implementing law.
