Pakistan observes world day against Child Labour

ISLAMABAD: People across the globe, including in Pakistan, marked the World Day Against Child Labour with a shared commitment to eliminating child labour entirely.

Child labour involves engaging children in tasks that rob them of their childhood, disrupt their education, and hinder their overall development, often causing lasting physical and emotional harm.

Despite various efforts, child labour remains a serious concern in Pakistan, especially in agriculture, domestic service, brick kilns, and informal sectors.
