- Child marriage is common in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America, with high rates in Nepal. It occurs most in poor, marginalized communities.
- The main causes of child marriage are poverty, the need to reinforce social ties, and the belief it offers protection. It results in girls dropping out of school and takes a toll on their health.
- The consequences of child marriage include negative health impacts on girls like increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, cervical cancer, and maternal and child mortality. It also results in isolation, depression, and domestic violence for the girls.

The House of Smiles in Harare provides support services to children and young people living in difficult street conditions. This report summarizes activities from January to June 2016 across four pillars: identification and family tracing of children; reunification services and multi-sectoral support including nutrition, hygiene, medical care and education. Key activities included identifying 57 new street children, reuniting 15 children with families, and providing over 2,100 hot meals and medical assistance. Educational support targeted 6 children in formal school or vocational training. The majority of new children were males aged 15-16, from deteriorating economic conditions.
This document discusses a parent-targeted child sexual abuse prevention education program. It begins by outlining the current situation of child sexual abuse in Vietnam, finding that thousands of cases occur each year involving children as young as 1 year old. It then describes common difficulties parents face in educating children on prevention, such as misunderstandings about abusers and abuse. The document proposes an education program to help parents overcome these difficulties by providing them information on abuse realities, abuser tactics, consequences of abuse, and signs of abuse. It recommends teaching children personal body safety rules and what to do if they feel unsafe. The goal is to empower parents and children through education to better cooperate on preventing this crime.

With VPA-MV-MN, urban children will not engage in any type of child labor. They will all receive a quality education through the village school system. Private industries will not be able to hire children under 18 years of age due to regulations. The new socio-economic model aims to eliminate poverty so that families do not feel compelled to send their children to work.
This document discusses providing a cultural context for child rights, protection, and safety in West Africa. It begins by describing traditional family structures that provided support systems for children, including the immediate nuclear family, extended family, and community. However, factors like urbanization, population growth, and economic changes have fragmented these support systems. This has led to vulnerabilities for children, like lack of supervision, poverty, and risks like child labor, trafficking, and teen pregnancy. The document uses Ghana as a case study, noting many children there are engaged in child labor instead of school. It calls for strengthening indigenous family systems and a networked regional approach to address the factors driving child vulnerabilities and protect children in West Africa.
The document discusses issues facing girl children in India, including female infanticide, nutritional deficiencies, higher morbidity and mortality rates, lack of education, abuse and neglect, and child labor. It notes that discrimination against girls begins before birth and continues throughout their lives. Girls often receive less healthcare, education and opportunities than boys due to gender discrimination. The document proposes several measures to improve conditions for girls, such as economic incentives for families with daughters, ensuring equal opportunities in education, employment and health, spreading social awareness, and strengthening legal protections.

“Role of the human value to improve the situation to protect the future of child (6 to 14 years).”
Child Labour is the practice of having children engage in economic activity, on a part- or full-time basis. The practice deprives children of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental development . Poverty , lack of good schools and the growth of the informal economy are considered to be the key causes of child labour in India.
Child labour is a persisting social evil . A well nourished child is priceless asset of a nation . A child should be facilitated to grow in multiple dimensions to attain the physical and mental fitness . The society and the government have responsibility to create conducive environment for the healthy growth of a child.
The complex issue of child labour is a developmental issue worth investigating.
The notion that children are being exploited and forced into labour while not receiving education crucial to development , concerns many people . India is the largest example of a nation plagued by the problem of child labour.
Child labour is a source of income for poor families.

The document discusses issues facing disadvantaged groups in Turkey, including children, disabled people, and women. It notes that 19% of Turkish children work, often in farming, and thousands live on the streets due to family violence. Many children face physical punishment. For disabled people, barriers include lack of accessible education, transportation, and employment opportunities. The document also discusses high rates of domestic violence against women in Turkey due to social and cultural pressures, as well as gender discrimination in education and the workplace. Strategies are proposed to address each issue through policies, programs, and raising awareness.
The document discusses different types of childhood experiences in Pakistani society based on social class, family type, and number of children. There are three main social classes - elite, middle, and lower/poor. Childhood differs greatly between these classes in terms of access to education, facilities, stress levels, and freedom. Family type such as joint, nuclear, and single-parent families also impact a child's upbringing. Large families with more than four children mean parents can provide less attention and care per child compared to smaller families. Poverty is a major factor leading to problems like child labor in Pakistan's developing society.
As elected representatives of your gram panchayat you represent all the persons who live in your village. You also represent the children, even though they did not vote you in. As the elected representatives you are responsible for ensuring that the rights of children are protected.
Lest we forget, the children may not be voters today, but
will be tomorrow, when they become adults. They will then hold us, adults of today, accountable for how they been brought up.
As you are well aware, children in every society face abuse, violence and exploitation. If you look around you, you will see it. Little children engaged in work and deprived of schooling- many of them bonded-parents beating their children, teachers beating children in schools or discriminating against them because of their caste or religion, girl children not being allowed to be born or killed soon after birth, or facing discrimination in the family and society because they are girls.
As an elected representative of your community and
people what will you do when you see a child being abused and exploited?

Child labor remains a significant problem in India, with millions of children engaged in work rather than attending school. Poverty is the primary driver, as families depend on children's wages to survive. Other factors include lack of access to education, social norms, cheap labor demands, and non-compliance with laws. Child labor has severe negative impacts on children's health, development, and long-term prospects. While laws exist to regulate child labor, enforcement remains a challenge. International organizations are working with the Indian government to address the root causes and support rehabilitation programs. Eliminating poverty through social welfare programs, expanding educational access, and strictly enforcing labor laws are seen as keys to solving the issue.
This document discusses education challenges faced by children in poverty globally. It provides examples of issues in China, the Middle East, Brazil, and efforts by organizations like Teach For China and World Vision to help. In China, millions of migrant children lack access to schools due to registration policies.

Adolescent Boys and Gendered Social transitions in Ethiopia (7 September, 2015)Young Lives Oxford
"Adolescent boys and gendered social transitions: Findings From the Young Lives Study in Ethiopia" by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag.
Presented at the Annual Development Studies Association Conference, Bath, UK
7-8 September 2015
What affects boys’ trajectories through school and work, including their aspirations, agency, place, and changing roles and responsibilities within family and community contexts? What obstacles do adolescent boys face as they seek to transition into young adults?
These questions were addressed in a presentation by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag at the UK Development Studies Association conference on 7 Sept 2015.
In recent years, adolescence has risen high on the global agenda, but boys are marginalised by an overwhelming focus on female adolescence. While there has been much focus on the harms that social norms and expectations can cause for girls’ well-being, what it means to be a boy in any given time and place is also socially constructed and dynamic. This paper shows how boys too can be disadvantaged by sexual stereotypes, social norms and economic adversity, and how gender norms become more entrenched as adolescents develop into young adults. In particular, we see how boys’ aspirations decrease over time while girls’ aspirations increase, particularly after age 15.
Securing paid work is key to boys’ transitions to adulthood, and at age 19, they strive for financial independence. They consider paid work to be a ‘protective factor’ in the sense that working prevents idleness and stagnation which they fear and resist. They also see themselves as ‘in-between’ childhood and adulthood – with a growing sense of responsibility and maturity, yet lacking adult authority and access to adult networks. Focusing much less on the promises of education for boys becoming men, work promises ‘change’ and represents persistence, hope and moral fortitude. But the reality of work is usually very different; a continual struggle to provide enough for themselves, their families, and their futures.
This document discusses child labor in Bangladesh. It defines child labor according to number of work hours by age. Over 1 million children have never been to school in Bangladesh where child labor is widely accepted. Common work areas include brick breaking, rickshaw pulling, and domestic work. Poverty is a main driver of child labor as nearly 1/3 of some families' incomes come from children. Child labor negatively impacts education and health, and risks abuse and trafficking. Solutions proposed include donating to NGOs, increasing education awareness, and strictly enforcing laws against child labor.
Child labour refers to the employment of children in economic activities on a part-time or full-time basis. It is most prevalent in under-developed countries where poverty, overpopulation, lack of resources and education, and unemployment contribute to families relying on children to work. Common forms of child labour occur in agriculture, clothing factories, mining, quarrying, coffee harvesting, carpet weaving, domestic work, and begging. The consequences of child labour include lack of schooling and care for children, physical and emotional abuse, and perpetuating intergenerational problems for families. Solutions to address child labour involve increasing access to education, social services, family planning resources, enforcing laws protecting children's rights, and supporting nonprofit organizations working to
Rise in Child Marriages in the Lockdownschnherrlich
This document provides an overview of child marriage in India. It defines child marriage and traces its origins to Muslim invasions over 1000 years ago. Child marriage was common globally before the 19th century. India has the second highest number of child marriages in the world, with 16% of girls aged 15-19 already mothers. Causes include poverty, lack of education, and tradition. Consequences are severe health risks for young brides and their children. Several NGOs work to increase awareness and end child marriage through various initiatives. The law prohibits child marriage in India under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006.
This document discusses child labor and provides recommendations. It begins by defining child labor and explaining where child laborers live and work. It then discusses the causes of child labor including poverty, lack of education, and family crises. Interviews of child laborers are presented that show they work long hours but earn little. The document concludes by recommending that children attend school full-time, policies support education and adult incomes, and social awareness is raised to end child labor.
1) Childhood in Pakistan faces many challenges. While some progress has been made through policy changes, implementation and resources for supporting children remain limited.
2) Poverty greatly impacts Pakistani children's access to healthcare, education and protection. Over half of rural households and 1 in 5 urban households live below the poverty line.
3) Pakistani society is patriarchal and family-oriented. Traditional social structures provide some support but can also restrict opportunities, especially for women and girls. Further reforms are needed to uphold children's rights.
This document discusses several major social problems in Pakistan, including illiteracy, unemployment, child labor, drug addiction, and poverty. It provides background information and statistics on each issue, examines their causes and effects, and proposes potential solutions. The largest problems are said to be illiteracy, with 58% of Pakistan's population being uneducated, and unemployment, with the unemployment rate being around 6%. Poverty is identified as contributing to and resulting from many of these social issues. The document advocates for improved education, vocational training, population control programs, and government initiatives to address these complex, interconnected problems facing Pakistani society.
Women Education in Pakistan at different levels.pptxKiranShahwar1
The document discusses women's education in Pakistan. It outlines several barriers to women receiving an education, such as social and cultural norms, poverty, and security issues. Some benefits of educating women are that it improves health outcomes, allows women to better manage domestic affairs, and boosts economic development. The document also examines initiatives by the Pakistani government and international organizations to promote gender equality and women's empowerment through improving access to education.
Child labor is a significant problem in Pakistan, with approximately 40 million children between ages 5-15 working. Poverty, illiteracy, population growth, and lack of law enforcement contribute to widespread child labor. Common forms of child labor include carpet weaving, soccer ball production, agriculture, mining, and work in auto shops and factories. Children face health risks from long hours and dangerous conditions, while being deprived of their education and childhood. Efforts are needed to strengthen laws against child labor and provide families alternatives to child work.
This document discusses the issue of child labor in Pakistan. It states that over 40 million children between the ages of 5-15 in Pakistan are economically active, with many working in hazardous conditions that deprive them of education and healthy development. Poverty is cited as the main driver of child labor, as families rely on children's wages for survival. Other factors include lack of access to education, large family sizes, and failure of the government to enforce laws against child labor. Hazardous industries where children commonly work include agriculture, carpet weaving, soccer ball production, auto workshops, mining and more. The document calls for action to uphold children's rights and provide families alternatives to child labor.
Today Pakistan is facing a lot of social problems but some are very common in Pakistan, which are destroying our society and also economy of Pakistan.

Adolescent Boys and Gendered Social transitions in Ethiopia (7 September, 2015)Young Lives Oxford
"Adolescent boys and gendered social transitions: Findings From the Young Lives Study in Ethiopia" by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag.
Presented at the Annual Development Studies Association Conference, Bath, UK
7-8 September 2015
What affects boys’ trajectories through school and work, including their aspirations, agency, place, and changing roles and responsibilities within family and community contexts? What obstacles do adolescent boys face as they seek to transition into young adults?
These questions were addressed in a presentation by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag at the UK Development Studies Association conference on 7 Sept 2015.
In recent years, adolescence has risen high on the global agenda, but boys are marginalised by an overwhelming focus on female adolescence. While there has been much focus on the harms that social norms and expectations can cause for girls’ well-being, what it means to be a boy in any given time and place is also socially constructed and dynamic. This paper shows how boys too can be disadvantaged by sexual stereotypes, social norms and economic adversity, and how gender norms become more entrenched as adolescents develop into young adults. In particular, we see how boys’ aspirations decrease over time while girls’ aspirations increase, particularly after age 15.
Securing paid work is key to boys’ transitions to adulthood, and at age 19, they strive for financial independence. They consider paid work to be a ‘protective factor’ in the sense that working prevents idleness and stagnation which they fear and resist. They also see themselves as ‘in-between’ childhood and adulthood – with a growing sense of responsibility and maturity, yet lacking adult authority and access to adult networks. Focusing much less on the promises of education for boys becoming men, work promises ‘change’ and represents persistence, hope and moral fortitude. But the reality of work is usually very different; a continual struggle to provide enough for themselves, their families, and their futures.
This document discusses child labor in Bangladesh. It defines child labor according to number of work hours by age. Over 1 million children have never been to school in Bangladesh where child labor is widely accepted. Common work areas include brick breaking, rickshaw pulling, and domestic work. Poverty is a main driver of child labor as nearly 1/3 of some families' incomes come from children. Child labor negatively impacts education and health, and risks abuse and trafficking. Solutions proposed include donating to NGOs, increasing education awareness, and strictly enforcing laws against child labor.
Child labour refers to the employment of children in economic activities on a part-time or full-time basis. It is most prevalent in under-developed countries where poverty, overpopulation, lack of resources and education, and unemployment contribute to families relying on children to work. Common forms of child labour occur in agriculture, clothing factories, mining, quarrying, coffee harvesting, carpet weaving, domestic work, and begging. The consequences of child labour include lack of schooling and care for children, physical and emotional abuse, and perpetuating intergenerational problems for families. Solutions to address child labour involve increasing access to education, social services, family planning resources, enforcing laws protecting children's rights, and supporting nonprofit organizations working to
Rise in Child Marriages in the Lockdownschnherrlich
This document provides an overview of child marriage in India. It defines child marriage and traces its origins to Muslim invasions over 1000 years ago. Child marriage was common globally before the 19th century. India has the second highest number of child marriages in the world, with 16% of girls aged 15-19 already mothers. Causes include poverty, lack of education, and tradition. Consequences are severe health risks for young brides and their children. Several NGOs work to increase awareness and end child marriage through various initiatives. The law prohibits child marriage in India under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006.
This document discusses child labor and provides recommendations. It begins by defining child labor and explaining where child laborers live and work. It then discusses the causes of child labor including poverty, lack of education, and family crises. Interviews of child laborers are presented that show they work long hours but earn little. The document concludes by recommending that children attend school full-time, policies support education and adult incomes, and social awareness is raised to end child labor.
1) Childhood in Pakistan faces many challenges. While some progress has been made through policy changes, implementation and resources for supporting children remain limited.
2) Poverty greatly impacts Pakistani children's access to healthcare, education and protection. Over half of rural households and 1 in 5 urban households live below the poverty line.
3) Pakistani society is patriarchal and family-oriented. Traditional social structures provide some support but can also restrict opportunities, especially for women and girls. Further reforms are needed to uphold children's rights.
This document discusses several major social problems in Pakistan, including illiteracy, unemployment, child labor, drug addiction, and poverty. It provides background information and statistics on each issue, examines their causes and effects, and proposes potential solutions. The largest problems are said to be illiteracy, with 58% of Pakistan's population being uneducated, and unemployment, with the unemployment rate being around 6%. Poverty is identified as contributing to and resulting from many of these social issues. The document advocates for improved education, vocational training, population control programs, and government initiatives to address these complex, interconnected problems facing Pakistani society.
Women Education in Pakistan at different levels.pptxKiranShahwar1
The document discusses women's education in Pakistan. It outlines several barriers to women receiving an education, such as social and cultural norms, poverty, and security issues. Some benefits of educating women are that it improves health outcomes, allows women to better manage domestic affairs, and boosts economic development. The document also examines initiatives by the Pakistani government and international organizations to promote gender equality and women's empowerment through improving access to education.
Child labor is a significant problem in Pakistan, with approximately 40 million children between ages 5-15 working. Poverty, illiteracy, population growth, and lack of law enforcement contribute to widespread child labor. Common forms of child labor include carpet weaving, soccer ball production, agriculture, mining, and work in auto shops and factories. Children face health risks from long hours and dangerous conditions, while being deprived of their education and childhood. Efforts are needed to strengthen laws against child labor and provide families alternatives to child work.
This document discusses the issue of child labor in Pakistan. It states that over 40 million children between the ages of 5-15 in Pakistan are economically active, with many working in hazardous conditions that deprive them of education and healthy development. Poverty is cited as the main driver of child labor, as families rely on children's wages for survival. Other factors include lack of access to education, large family sizes, and failure of the government to enforce laws against child labor. Hazardous industries where children commonly work include agriculture, carpet weaving, soccer ball production, auto workshops, mining and more. The document calls for action to uphold children's rights and provide families alternatives to child labor.
Today Pakistan is facing a lot of social problems but some are very common in Pakistan, which are destroying our society and also economy of Pakistan.
Like Child Labour, CORRUPTION, Poverty, Illiteracy, Population Growth, Terrorism, Smuggling, Drug abuse, etc etc etc…
The document discusses various issues facing children in India such as abuse, sexual abuse, street children, children with HIV/AIDS, child labor, child marriage, trafficking, and malnutrition. It notes that India is home to 19% of the world's child population and children face issues like physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as neglect. Specific vulnerable groups discussed include street children, children with disabilities, children affected by substance abuse, and children from scheduled castes and tribes. It provides statistics on issues like child marriage, birth registration, missing children, and outlines some of the laws and policies in place in India to protect children.
The document discusses issues related to protection and development of girl children in India. It provides statistics showing declining sex ratios and highlights various social problems faced by girls such as female infanticide, malnutrition, lack of education and child marriage. It also outlines initiatives by NGOs and the government to promote girls' education and raise awareness about girls' rights through campaigns, sponsorship programs, and celebrating important days. Comprehensive action is needed across various sectors to ensure equitable development and empowerment of girls in India.
Concept note community capacity buildingGharib Hamad
The document discusses strengthening community child protection systems in Zanzibar to address violence against children and gender-based violence. It notes that the Zanzibar Violence against Children Study found high rates of sexual violence against children and low rates of support services utilization. It proposes building the capacity of community structures and the formal child protection system to prevent and respond to abuse cases through activities like training, advocacy, and developing intervention programs. The overall goal is to reduce child abuse in the community by improving protection mechanisms at both the community and government levels.
Stereotype Parental Factors and Girl Child’s Participation in Post Primary Ed...ijtsrd
There is compelling evidence that parental factors significantly impact girls’ attendance in post primary education. The purpose of the present study was to identify the parental factors that affect girls’ attendance in post primary education in Boyo division and to explore the relationship between our study variables. The study reviewed literature based on four specific objectives parents’ attitudes towards girl child education, parents’ level of education as well as socio cultural and socio economic factors on girls’ attendance in post primary education. The ecological systems, needs of the hierarchy and gender relation theories were used not only to substantially explain the position of parental participation in girls’ education but also to generate strategies to promote parents’ participation in their girl children’s education. This qualitative study sought to explore secondary sources of data and to establish how parents in Boyo division were involved in their girl children’s education. The descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. Semi structured interviews for parents and the open ended questionnaire for girls were used in this qualitative study covering four 4 post primary schools. Respondents were selected through the use of chain reference sampling and sampling by case. A total of three hundred and thirty eight 338 participants were selected. The sample consisted of 50 parents and 338 girls who attended both the public and private secondary schools in Boyo division. Data were gathered from the participants via valid and reliable questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the background information of the participants. The Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was employed to explore whether there was a significant relationship between parental factors and girls’ attendance in post primary education. The results revealed that parental factors affect girls’ attendance in post primary education. Based on the discussions, conclusion is drawn and suggestions made on ways of bringing education to the doorstep of the girl child in Cameroon. Girls’ attendance in education is influenced by parental factors. Parents actually indicated and revealed that parents’ related factors hindered girls’ attendance. It was recommended that parents should be willing to learn about how they could overcome the barriers in the participation of their girl children’s education. Girls should be given equal access as boys to education there should be a legal support for girl child education and government should empower parents to understand the importance of educating the girl child.

Presentation from international meeting on children's work and child labour hosted by the Africa Child Policy Forum, Organisation for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa, and Young Lives in Addis Ababa, 20-21 March 2014
The document discusses various issues facing the girl child in Indian society, from female feticide and infanticide to discrimination in education and child marriage. Some key points:
1) Female fetuses are often selectively aborted through sex determination tests, and female infants are still abandoned or killed by the dozens.
2) Society views girls as a burden due to dowry costs and the expectation that they will eventually belong to another family.
3) Despite laws, girls face discrimination and lack of access to education. Many are pulled out of school early or not allowed to pursue higher education. Child marriage also remains a problem.
An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour globally, with millions working in hazardous situations like mines, agriculture, and factories. Children work in many invisible roles like domestic servants. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rate of child labour at 1 in 3 children, while South Asia has 44 million child labourers. Children from poor, rural households are most at risk. Girls disproportionately take on domestic work and are vulnerable to exploitation. Child labour often prevents children from attending school and receiving an education.

Gender Imbalance in India Causes and Emerging Issuesijtsrd
The provisional data of 2011 Census has once again highlighted the problem of severe sex imbalance in the country, especially in 0 6 age group. According to Census of 2011, the sex ratio in 0 6 year’s age group has declined to 914 females per 1000 males as compared to 927 in 2001. It shows an increasing trend of male preference as compared to female in the last decade. The phenomenon of son preference is coupled with death of young females due to lack of medical care, under nutrition, female infanticide, and sex selective abortions. Sen 1992, 2003 first addressed the disturbing trend by highlighting that millions of females in India are missing because of widespread neglect in health care, nutrition and prenatal care. The steep decline in sex ratio in northern and western states is a cause of worry. Technological developments permitting sex selective abortions have seriously aggravated sex imbalance in these states. The trend of rapid decline in sex ratio has given rise to serious social, demographic and cultural problems. This present paper attempts to explain the causes for gender imbalance and its implications on the society as a whole. Chandrakant N.

Sex Education to Indian Adolescents – Need of the Houriosrjce
This document discusses the need for comprehensive sex education for Indian adolescents. It notes that India has a large adolescent population but parents and society are reluctant to discuss sexuality openly. While adolescents are curious about physical changes during puberty, they lack guidance, leading some to seek information from unreliable sources like pornography. Sex education could help address issues like teenage pregnancy, sexual abuse, and India's HIV epidemic by empowering youth with knowledge about safe and responsible behavior. However, introducing sex education remains controversial in India. The document argues that a single chapter in the school curriculum could help address the lack of reliable information available to many Indian adolescents.
The document analyzes the cycle of poverty and exploitation that leads to the trafficking of girls in Sonagachi, India. It discusses how girls born in the red light district of Sonagachi often inherit their mother's profession of sex work due to economic poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare, and social stigma. Community-based organizations that work closely with the local population are identified as being most effective at disrupting this cycle by empowering mothers and providing children with alternatives such as education and vocational training.
Child labours still a hurdle in country developmentAlexander Decker
This document discusses child labor in District Bahawalpur, Pakistan. It aims to identify the nature and extent of child labor in the district, the causes of child labor, and recommend strategies to eradicate it. The study found that many children in rural areas work to contribute to family income, while urban families have children work due to large family size and lack of financial resources. Common causes of child labor included poverty, lack of access to education, and the demand for cheap labor. The document recommends identifying proposals from parents and children to help eradicate child labor in the district.

The FRCE Research analyzed problems of Pakistani children reported in media from January 2012 to November 2012. It found that children face issues like child labor (in various industries), street children vulnerable to sexual exploitation, violence and abuse, child trafficking, and being displaced. Poverty was a major cause of these issues. The research recommended developing policies to address children's issues, reshaping education, creating economic opportunities, empowering families, raising awareness through media, and banning hazardous child labor.
FRCE believes education is important for Pakistan's stability, economic progress, and social development, but Pakistan has low literacy rates, education standards, and growth over 60 years. Lack of education has caused narrow-mindedness, intolerance, and the deterioration of values and culture. Problems like child labor, poverty, terrorism, and sectarianism stem from lack of education and awareness. To address this, FRCE launched an educational campaign in Sindh Pakistan to mobilize communities to enroll children in school so they can have prosperous futures, and to convince teachers to properly teach students, as teachers play important roles both in and outside of school for education and literacy.

Introduction
FRCE always believes children are the flowers of heaven. They are the most beautiful and purest
creation of God. They are innocent both inwardly and outwardly. No doubt, they are the beauty
of this world. But children in Pakistan face a variety of serious challenges ranging from
malnutrition and poor access to education and health facilities to exploitation in the form of child
labor. Their low status in society can leave them victim to daily violence at home and in school
as well as to organized trafficking and sexual exploitation, and many problems related with
children in the country were observed through media coverages since last year by FRCE
Researchers team in leading newspapers of the country.
Objectives of FRCE Research
1. Scrutinize children problems in Pakistan
2. Analyze in which fields child labour is deputed
3. Know how many children issues reported by media in the country
4. Identify how many forms of violence regarding children are highlighted in media

Street Children
Poverty, physical and mental abuse, negligence, and family problems are the major factors that
lead children to take refuge in the streets.
Sexual exploitation of children
Around 90% of the street children in Pakistan are subjected to the sex trade. Pakistan is also one
of the only countries in the world where boys are almost more vulnerable to sexual abuse than
girls.
Violence and Abuse
There is a troubling increase in the cases of abuse, kidnapping, and violence towards children in
Pakistan, following violence and abuse were found
1. Domestic violence,
2. Rape,
3. Pedophilia,
4. forced marriage
5. Corporal punishment that represents the most common form of abuse.
Child trafficking
The reports show that children are sold, rented, or even kidnapped in order to force them to beg,
serve, and even to prostitute.

In Pakistan, armed conflicts are not the only factor pushing families to flee. The country also
sees recurring natural disasters. Children who flee their homes need food, care, shelter, and
drinkable water. In these precarious living conditions, many displaced children suffer from
illnesses not only caused by poor hygiene, but also by anxiety, stress, and depression.
Children and tribal Conflicts, clashes
Pakistan is the theatre for numerous conflicts and confrontations (the tribal conflicts in northern
Sindh and Taliban conflicts in KPK). Victims of suicide attacks, explosions and anti-personnel
mines, and children pay heavy consequences with their health from these conflicts and clashes.
Furthermore, these children are also deprived of their right to education because many schools
are destroyed and some regions are subject to curfews
Child marriages
It was observed that through media that some parents believe it is better to marry off their
daughters as early as possible. Some marry their daughters with men as old as their fathers
because no match could be found in their tribes or caste. Their ‘traditions’ don’t allow them to
marry their daughters outside their caste or tribe.Despite the “Child Marriage Restraint Act”,
which forbids marriages of children these marriages still take place in Pakistan? This law
establishes the legal age of marriage as 18 years for men and 16 years for women, and failure to
respect it could lead to sanctions. In practice, this law is not respected at all, and there are still
many cases of forced marriage in particular tribal areas of the country.
In rural areas, in media a practice called “Vani Marriages” was observed which involves giving
your daughter in marriage to settle a dispute or a debt between two parties. “The aggressor”
offers one of his family’s daughters in compensation for a wrong caused. These marriages are
very dangerous for the Health of young girls who, as a result, run the risk of domestic violence,
servitude, and rapes.

Right to education
Observed that the majority of children attend primary school in Pakistan and the attendance rate
for Education is higher among boys than girls. The government only allocates just 2% of its
national budget to education, which is clearly insufficient considering the need. The difficulties
of public education are numerous: economic constraints, dilapidated or even dangerous schools
buildings, lack of toilets, chairs, tables, recurring humanitarian crises etc.
Furthermore, teachers are very under-qualified, and it is not uncommon for children to leave
school without knowing how to read or write.
Right to Identity
Births of the majority of children are not officially reported to the Pakistani public authorities,
making these children invisible in the eyes of society. The absence of regulations on births, and a
lack of information about the necessity to register them, is the biggest obstacles to the realization
of a complete birth registry. There is a great necessity to inform the general public about the
problems that this could cause, such as the absence of official identity, nationality, or even the
failure to respect the rights and practical needs of children.
Poverty
About 26% of the Pakistani population lives below the poverty line. This problem mainly affects
rural areas. The state of the global markets is exacerbating an already very difficult economic
reality. The first victims of poverty are children, the weakest and most vulnerable, who see a
complete deprivation of their rights, lack of education, health access and discrimination. And
poverty is the greatest single cause behind child labour.

role in the society. A society cannot be humane without good provisions for the children to live
like children Joyful and carefree. Their fundamental rights have been guaranteed by Constitution

Government of Pakistan and NGOs so involved in the act of elimination of children issues the
following interventions shall be required to be taken.
1. Policies
Composite policies should be developed to address the issue of children and resources should be
allocated proportionately. Awareness must be raised and the attention of parents ought to be
diverted to the education of their children through media and mobilization.
2. Reshaping educational system
The free education be given up to tertiary level and every parent should be bound to send their
children to school for the education Because School education plays vital role in elimination of
child labor. In one hand, school could be alternative place for children instead of being at
workplace. On the other hand, education brings awareness about human rights, child rights,
gender equality and moral values making all concerned sensitive towards the issue of child labor.

child labor necessary for future despite educational system of the country must be reshaped and

Addition in "export of local products" to other areas, reforms in unproductive cultures and
Practices, etc.
4. The family and the child:
Family members and the home environment is also the most important for every child such as
parental love and care and the most important aspects to avoid child labor and exploitation of
children. Therefore, parents must be made part of the endeavor to eliminate child issues. They
should be central in the rehabilitation endeavors. In cases the family is non-existent or the child
has a very negative feeling towards parents, foster parenting can help fill the gap.
5. Media:
Media is considered to be the fourth organ of the state in democratic society. Media plays a vital
role in awareness raising, advocacy and sensitization by collection and dissemination of
information. Often times, it is media that reports about the incidence of child labor first, to be
followed up by other players, especially when the activity is illegal, e.g. Child trafficking for
labor and other exploitations. Media could also play a key role in reporting best practices and
success stories.
7. Information dissemination regarding the Convention of children rights
There is a need for disseminating information regarding the Convention, constitutional provisions
and other related legislation pertaining to the rights of children. Thus, the local government
institutions, social/cultural/educational/religious institutions, NGOs and mass media, etc. should be
associated in the task of mobilising support for the rights and welfare of the children.
8. Ban on hazardous occupations: Government should enforce a ban on hazardous occupations
under the Employment of Children Act 1991.
