"All forms of forced labour and
traffic in human beings is
prohibited."

Laws Prohibiting Childlabour In

Pakistan

The West Pakistan Shops and Establishments
Ordinance 1969.
The Employment of Children Act 1991.
The Bonded Labour System Abolition Act
1992.
The Punjab Compulsory Education Act 1994

Suggestion:
Most important steps required To Eliminate Childlabour are;
Provision of free and compulsory education.
Tackling barriers to girls education.
Ensuring that children have access to a school.
Providing education opportunities for children.
Tackling the worldwide shortage of teachers.
Enforcing laws on child labour.
Tackling poverty.
Raising public awareness to tackle child labour.

Conclusion
Pakistan is trying to eliminate the Childlabour
and its reasons, Pakistan has recently passed
laws about child labor but those laws are
universally ignored. Our government is not
interested in social issues like child labour. And
Factories Owners are violating the laws about
Childlabour. In Our country where corruption
is common and education is limited, Such
social activists are everyone's natural enemy.
