Its been a year, but this thought stings over and over again which i want to share publically for elimination from society. Once in class i got a topic for speech in university from my teacher about child labor in Pakistan. Inspite of all that respect i have in my heart for all my honourable instructors, Regretfully,I just want to share the bitter realities here about the mindset and caliber of educated class of our society. When i started to defend my point of view about eradication of childlabor, He just ask me to wait for my turn as he consider my point of view irrelevant and my classmates laughed at me.I feel very awkward and sat back to my seat , but I stupefied,When he said that he is in the favor of child labor and said that if children's does not get hazardous employment so they may be involved in street crimes, drug mafia and under world so, if they got a chance for seeking marketable skills, but the age must be in the bracket of 16 and above. If our government is not providing them ample sources then it is the social responsibility of people. Ain't it?? Everyone was giving there opinion when it comes to me i abruptly said, With all due respects I'am not denying what you are saying Sir , but its just feeling something which is not justified, it is very solemn problem, child labor must be strictly prohibited in our country through the law suit the reason behind that is our 5-14 years old children's in Pakistan are working. There is no implementations on the basic rights of children and they are estimated that one quarter of the country’s work force. But according to me as I know that developing countries like Pakistan,most of the people are living below the poverty line, if it is necessary for earning the livelihood for family due to financial crises, you are quite right that their age must be in the bracket of 16 and on words because we know that how they are treated, mishandled at workplace. So, they at least able to handle the stress, But we should have to talk upon ground realities and the irony is that age bracket has not been followed and if it is, then what is the guarantee for them not to involve in such kinda ill activities?As teen age is full of new ideas for shortcuts to become rich and famous.

Child labor leading to mental, physical, moral and social harm to children. how the nation’s future namely children are deprived of pleasures of life, ignorance has reduced their abilities of thinking right or differentiating between right and wrong, as well as their life-chances to their non-access to education.It is true that child labor is not an isolated phenomenon, There nature of occupation of work which are leading them to different health problems in very young age. After a series of psychologically and physical hard days they may consider them In the valley of Dark Lords and insulting remarks naturally diverts their concentration and finding it more easy to earn by killing some one instead of bearing such ridicule. There is no specific conditions to choosing wrong way,and no surety for that employed child never evolved in such crimes, the chances are epitome in that case .1 year has lapsed Yesterday, when i walk back to my home from grocery store ,I saw two of CBA kids sleeping with each other peacefully on road side . I can see that peace on there faces can,t describe in words .That scene once again gave me reason to write that old conversation publicly and manifest for there future. I can't resist myself to gaze out upon that despairing scene as my eyes were full with tears while standing beside them for a minute. I took picture from my cellphone and thinking that we should have eradicate the evil by implementations instead of arguing.The government of country must take harsh measures against child trafficking by educating them to ratified matters.
