Introduction
SPARC was founded in 1992, registered in December 1992 as a society under
the Societies Registration Act 1860, by Supreme Court Advocate Anees Jillani.
The idea for creating Pakistan’s leading child rights organization came to
fruition following a discussion between Anees Jillani and the then UNICEF
Program Officer in Islamabad, and an International Baby Food Action Network
(IBFAN) Training Course on Implementing the International Code of
Marketing of Breast milk Substitutes in Penang, Malaysia.
For about three years, Anees Jillani supported all SPARC activities on his own.
Later, UNICEF approached SPARC with its first funding wherein the Annual
Project Plan of Action was signed. SPARC started to take out a quarterly
newsletter in English which was later also published in Urdu and Sindh.
UNICEF and the Royal Netherlands Embassy initially supported the newsletter.
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) was the first to support
SPARC institutionally and SPARC set up offices in Islamabad. A hallmark
publication of SPARC, The State of Pakistan’s Children, was born; supported
by Norwegian Agency for Development (NORAD). SDC brought SPARC into
the national sphere with offices opened n Peshawar and Lahore.
In 1996, SPARC was asked by SACCS to organize the Global March against
Child Labor in Pakistan. Within a short period of time with seminars and
consultations, SPARC galvanized the whole country around the child labor
issue with the support of NOVIB, International Labor Organization (ILO) and
NORAD.

2
After the March, SPARC entered a totally new arena, pursuing a holistic
approach aiming to benefit not just a small number of working children but the
maximum number of children in the country.
SPARC works on a broad range of child rights issues, addressing the overall
system and policy framework, with added focus on specific thematic areas of
special importance to children. SPARC’s work is guided by international human
rights principles and standards which are integrated at policy and program level.
The main guiding documents include the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and relevant ILO Conventions.
SPARC has consultative status with the United Nations ECOSOC (Economic
and Social Council) and the United Nations Department of Public Information
and is also partnered with Defense for Children International (DCI).
In 2003, SPARC received the United Nations Recognition Award in recognition
of its work in highlighting the plight of children and promoting the rights of
children in Pakistan.
In 2006 SPARC received USAID certification under the USAID Institutional
Management Certification Program (IMCP).
Vision
A world in which children are valued and empowered and their rights promoted
and protected.

Projects
Projects 2016:
Women Empowerment
Child Early and Forced Marriages: Reaching the Unreached through Vocational
Training.
SPARC has entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth School of
Learning (COL). The Canadian funded project largely aims at improved
sustainable livelihoods for 5,000 disadvantaged young women and girls in
Multan, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Peshawar and slum areas of Islamabad during
March 15, 2016- February 28, 2017. Increased skills among girls with
acquisition of knowledge about their health, social rights are key objectives of
the project where SPARC would cater to the beneficiaries through its already
established centers in the target cities. In the long run, the project would help
addressing the issue of Child Early and Forced Marriages (CEFM).
Improve Sustainable Livelihoods for Disadvantaged Girls in the
Underprivileged Communities of Punjab SPARC has entered into another three
year long partnership with COL. The Australian funded project would reach out
to 6,000 girls and young women in Multan and Muzaffargarh through increased
technical and vocational skills and awareness and aspirations for employment
opportunities. The project would cater to girls and women victimized by child
early and forced marriage through skill provision and technology based
learning.

Countering Violent Extremism:
Engaging Youth of Karachi University through Leadership Skills.
SPARC signed agreement with the Karachi Youth Initiative on countering
violent extremism. The project seeks to create Youth Rights Clubs (YRCs) in
Karachi University, with students from the sociology, psychology and visual
studies departments. The aim of the project is to create awareness amongst the
youth about their rights and responsibilities via youth leadership and blogging
trainings, guest lectures on countering violent narratives and exposure visits to
places of worship for peaceful coexistence.
Child Rights:
Publication of the State of Pakistan’s Children.
The State of Pakistan’s Children is a report published annually by SPARC
since1997 and encompasses all the major sectors that are relevant to child rights
including; education, health, child labor, violence against children and juvenile
justice. The report also gives recommendations for the government to take
appropriate measures in order to address the issues faced by children across the
country.
Education:
Promoting Child Friendly Classroom Environment in Selected Schools of KP.
SPARC, with the financial support of KNH and the German Federal Ministry
for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), is implementing a four
year educational project in selected schools of Districts Abbottabad and Haripur
in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The project, Promoting child friendly classroom
environment in selected schools of KP, largely aims at improving quality of
education and learning outcomes in target districts through provision of basic

6
educational facilities and infrastructural support to 60 selected schools, training
of 120 master trainers and over 360 school teachers and strengthening of child
protection systems in the province through lobbying and awareness raising.
As of March 2016, SPARC has:
 Refurbished 30 selected schools of Abbottabad with provision of WASH
and play facilities;
 Work in another 30 schools of Haripur is on going
 Trained 237 Parents Teachers Councils members from 60 schools on
improved governance at school level
 Trained 116 teachers as Master Trainers on effective classroom
management techniques
 132 new teachers were trained by MTs where upon the request of District
Education Department Abbottabad; teachers of 5 additional schools were
trained as well.
 Developed a comprehensive quiz and spelling booklet for further used by
teachers during competitions
 Child Rights Committees and member lawyers provided legal aid to 24
beneficiaries and 29 fact findings were reported from both districts.
 A book fair was organized at Government Girls Primary School Srisala at
Haripur where Assistant Commissioner Haripur, District Education
Officers, Social Welfare Department officials participated
 Coordination with likeminded NGOs and awareness raising through
multiple channels including IEC material, theater performances, articles
in local newspapers and airing of radio spots are features of the project.

PreviousProjects
Education:
Peace and Cohesion through Dialogue.
A project advocating on tolerance, peace and co-existence is being carried out with
the support of the Canadian High Commission (December 2015- March 2016).
SPARC and the High Commission firmly believe that Pakistan can find strength
and success in its diversity where all women and men have the right to worship in
peace and security. Two consultative seminars/dialogues were held in Karachi and
Hyderabad with the involvement of religious leaders, scholars, academia and civil
society representatives. Another similar dialogue will be held at the University of
Hyderabad.
Identification of Barriers to Girls’ Education in Targeted Districts of the Punjab.
This project (June- December 2015) was implemented with the support of
Awaaz funding in three districts of South Punjab including Multan,
Muzafargarh and Bahawalpur. The main objective of the project was to create
knowledge and awareness on barriers to girls education in targeted districts of
Punjab. The project addressed a development issue in Punjab whereby 13
million children (6.8 million girls) in the province are out of schools.
SPARC conducted a research study to identify the issues that create hurdles for
the education of young girls up to the age of 5 to 16.The research was
undertaken by a consultant firm under the supervision of SPARC. The research
provided a holistic perspective behind low enrolment of girls in schools. The
research engaged all stakeholders who were directly concerned with educating

8
the girl child including the parents, children, school principals, teachers and
officials from the districts and provincial education departments. The published
research and its findings were disseminated through seminars at district and
provincial levels. Three seminars were conducted during November and
December 2015.
Communities Taking Charge: Bringing Quality back into Public Primary
Schools.
The poor quality of education in state schools in Pakistan has caused an exodus
of students from public to private educational institutions. Between 1998 and
2013, private schools have grown by 69% while the government education
sector has only increased by 8%.
This situation is reflected in the district data on Multan and Bahawalpur, two
important districts of the underdeveloped Southern Punjab region. This situation
has prevailed in spite of considerable state interventions to bolster the public
education sector in the province: these include low cost government schools,
free education and end corporal punishment initiatives. This indicates the poor
quality of service delivery of the public sector schools which is not only
resulting in the growth of private sector education but also causing an “exodus”
of students from government to private schools.
This project aims to address this gap in the quality of public and private sector
schools through a synergistic approach encompassing research, community
mobilization and advocacy.

Rebuilding Schools in the Flood- Affected Areas of District Badin, Sindh
The monsoon season of 2011 brought death and destruction to the people of
Sindh when flash floods ravaged large parts of the province, affecting lives,
property and infrastructure. It is estimated that almost 4.8 million children were
affected in Sindh alone- including 500,000 children below the age of five years.
Apart from raising health, shelter and security issues; the floods caused massive
damage to the education infrastructure in the affected areas, resulting in a
drastic decline in school attendance. UNICEF estimated that the 2011 floods
damaged 60% of the schools in the affected areas, pushing more than 400,000
children out of school: almost 729,000 children were deprived of learning
materials. Moreover, according to a UNICEF assessment, as of 2011, 1,244
schools (mostly in Sindh) were being used as shelters by the flood affected. This
resulted in further damage to school infrastructure as people were forced to burn
school furniture during the winters to keep themselves warm.
The worst affected districts of Sindh (including Badin, Mirpurkhas, Tando
Muhammad Khan, Mithi, Tando Allah Yar, Matiari, Hyderabad, and Jamshoro)
are still reeling from the after effects of the floods. Education infrastructure is
the worst affected, especially in the already underdeveloped districts like Badin
where reconstruction of schools is being undertaken at a slow pace. This has
resulted in massive school dropout rates as large numbers of flood affected
children have not returned to resume their education.
Therefore SPARC with assistance from TDH, executed a project to rehabilitate
these schools in order to ensure that these children, who have already suffered a
great deal of devastation and personal loss, are provided with a safe learning
environment

10
Juvenile Justice:
Countering Violence in the Prisons of Punjab.
In December 2013, SPARC started a project titled “Countering Violence in the
Prisons of Punjab” with the cooperation of US Embassy of Pakistan “INL
Program”. The project was implemented in nine jails of four districts in Punjab
including Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan and Sahiwal.
The main objective of the project was to provide legal aid to under trial adult
male and female and juvenile prisoners by providing free legal assistance.
SPARC also provided non-formal education to juveniles and women.
Vocational trainings were also provided to other adult Under Trial Prisoners in
the selected prisons.
Through this project, we aimed to ensure that these individuals are reintegrated
back into society as reformed citizens with alternative livelihood opportunities.
Background Information: In Pakistan, under trial prisoners (UTPs) including
juveniles languish for years in detention while waiting for the completion of
their trials and have been kept in jail longer than the maximum penalty
associated with their crime. Overcrowding in prisons leads to many UTPs
coming into contact with dangerous criminals and extremists who manipulate
and radicalize them thereby transforming them into hardened criminals rather
than rehabilitated and refined individuals.

11
Objectives:
 Free legalassistance provided by SPARC to all the needy and deserving
under trial prisoners languishing in the selected prisons. The full time
services of 15 experienced lawyers were obtained in the four mentioned
cities. Legal Aid was provided to 1817 adult male prisoners, 35 female
prisoners and 92 juveniles.
 Non-Formal Education offered to the female UTPs in Multan and the
juveniles in Faisalabad. Three trained teachers were hired for this
purpose. Interactive sessions were conducted and books and stationary
were provided. The teachers hired by SPARC visited the prisons on a
daily basis. A total of 243 prisoners received Non-Formal Education.
 Vocational training and skills development offered to the adult UTPs,
male and female, in the trades: Electrician, Motorcycle Mechanic, Tractor
Mechanic, Beautician, Tailoring; and Embroidery skills. Reputed training
institutes were involved as third parties to ensure certification of the
courses. A total of 223 participants took part in our vocational training.
The result of the project was reduction in the number of prisoners,
overcrowding and the prevailing violent situations in prisons. The non- formal
education component and vocational trainings helped the released prisoners to
reintegrate in the society in a better way. The project demonstrated how timely
processing of cases and release of prisoners and empowering them with
livelihood skills and education could have a positive impact on the situation
within jails and decrease the likelihood of repeat offenses and lead to positive
rehabilitation in the society.

12
Violence against Children:
Prevention of Early Marriages in Mithi, Sindh
In Pakistan, child marriages mostly occur in poor rural communities. Girl
children are especially vulnerable to underage marriages. Young brides are
exposed to brutal and life threatening forms of violence including domestic
violence, sexual abuse and reproductive health complications associated with
early sexual activity and childbearing. The extensive socially accepted practice
of early or child marriage is clearly a violation of the rights of the child and a
harmful traditional practice.
Sindh is one of the most impoverished in the country, and research carried out
into the issue indicates this is a key factor in the increase in such unlawful
unions, with parents often tempted to sell off young girls in exchange for the
high price offered by grooms, often many times the age of their ‘brides’.
Families facing acute economic hardships have stated they have “no choice” but
to sell off girls to older men, while in many cases the deal is made by a single,
almost invariably male member of the family, such as the father or grandfather
of the girl, without consulting other family members.
Therefore, SPARC undertook a project to tackle the issue of child marriages in
District Mithi, Sindh. Through large-scale advocacy with village elders,
teachers, nikkah registrars and religious figures, the organization aimed to bring
about a change in harmful traditional practices and the mindset of the local
community.

13
The Beginning of SPARC’s Center for street
Children’s:
SPARC has been working with street children in Peshawar since 2006. During
a span of three years (2009-2011) and with Kinder not half’s support, SPARC
was able to establish three more street children centers at Rawalpindi,
Hyderabad and Multan. Later, a center for children of liberated peasants was
established in Sikandarabad Hari Camp with the help of Good Neighbors
International (“GNI”). The funding for the Sikandarabad center came to an end
in December 2015 whereas SPARC is running CSC Multan through its own
resources. It also looks up to philanthropists to join the noble cause of
protection of vulnerable children.
The objective of CSCsis to improvethe qualityof life of street children; and in
this regard the CSCs offer the following services to the children visiting it:
Street Children in Pakistan:
The number of street children in Pakistan is estimated to be between 1.2
million to 1.5 million. These children end up on the streets due to many factors
including, poverty, neglect, family problems, natural disasters and
displacement, violence in homes and schools and lack of adequate employment,
education and social welfare systems. Once on the streets, these street children
then become even more vulnerable to other abuses including drug-addiction,
trafficking and sexual abuse.
Some of the risks faced by street children include homelessness, malnutrition,
physical and mental abuse and marginalization from mainstream society. These
children easily become victims of organized criminal gangs, drug pushers and

14
begging mafias who take these children under their wings and use them in
criminal activities. Street children are also found to be involved in risky
behaviors including commercial sex and drug abuse.
A behavioral study of adolescents in seven districts of Pakistan revealed that a
large number of street children, including females were involved in commercial
sex and drug abuse including the use of inhalants, hashish and injectible drugs
and sharing needles and syringes.
There are ongoing efforts to assist street children through various programs
including rehabilitation centers by the government and centers by civil society
organizations that provide psycho-social counseling, some basic health and
education services. Some of them attempt to reunite street and runaway children
with their families.
Health and Hygiene Sessions:
 Entertainment
 Indoor Sports
 Recreational Trips
 One meal a day & refreshments
 Non Formal Education
 Mainstreaming into the Government Schools
 Skills Training
 Medical Care
 Psycho-social Counseling & Life Skill Guidance
 Reunification
 Referral of Runaway Children to the Child Protection Bureaus

15
ChildLabour:
What is Child Labour?
The International Labor Organization (ILO) defines child labor as work that
deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is
harmful to their physical and mental development.
Child Labour Affecting Education
The second aspect of child labor, aside from the potential or possible harm, is
the interference with a child’s education. The interference in education can
include deprivation of the opportunity to attend school, the work becoming a
cause for dropping out of school, and the child being required to attempt to
combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work.
Pakistan
Child labor in Pakistan, ranging from light work to more serious and hazardous
work, exists in a number of sectors with varying degrees of prevalence. Most
child labor is in the informal sector, mainly agriculture and domestic labor,
which are areas that are outside the scope of child labor legislations. Child labor
is also found in many manufacturing processes and industries in contravention
of child labor laws.
In the rural areas, children are mainly engaged in unpaid farm work. In these
chores, girls take on a disproportionate share of the total workload and their
added responsibilities include domestic work.
In urban settings, children are employed in more diversified occupations. The
most well known sectors are the soccer ball stitching; carpet weaving;

16
manufacturing industries associated with glass bangle, tannery, and surgical
instruments; brick kilns; coal mines; automobile workshops; the loading and
unloading of goods; seafood processing and deep sea fishing; and in settings
such as hotels, restaurants and shops.
Children are also self-employed as shoe polishers, rag pickers (sorting out
refuse and recycling), street vendors and car washers.
The Extent
Pakistan lacks reliable up to date statistics on the situation of child labor in the
country.
The only child labor survey in the country so far was undertaken by the Federal
Bureau of Statistics in 1996.
As for child domestic labor, the sheer informality of child domestic labor
keeps it invisible from official employment statistics, thereby making it one of
the most neglected forms of child labor in official policies and laws.
Causes
Widespread poverty and the country’s weak education system are widely
accepted as the major reasons behind the child labor problem.
However, socio-cultural practices, the legislative framework and patterns of
social and economic development also contribute to it.

17
A high tolerance for child labor, political volatility and conflict in the country
also exacerbate the problem and can hinder the implementation of actions
against it.
Additionally, a large number of children are affected by devastation caused
by natural disasters in the country such as the floods of 2010 and 2011 as well
as the ongoing conflict in the tribal areas.
Prevalence of economically active children who are not enrolled in schools
tends to be higher than economically active children who are enrolled.
The increase in school drop outs coupled with a population growth is further
contributing to the intensification of child labor.
Extreme Forms of Child Labor
In its most extreme forms, child labor involves children being enslaved such as
in the case of bonded labor, separated from their families such as in child
domestic labor, exposed to serious hazards and illnesses and/ or left to fend for
themselves on the streets of large cities.
In extreme cases, children have been found imprisoned in illegal work camps or
chained to the ground at their workplace. Children are sometimes forced to
indulge in prostitution.

18
Child Domestic Labor
There are no statistics on child domestic labor in Pakistan. As the State does not
recognize this issue and no surveys have been conducted to estimate its scale,
the figures rely on estimation and its magnitude and severity is based on
conjectures. The national survey on Child Labor conducted in 1996 also did not
mention anything about child domestic labor, despite the problem widely
prevalent, particularly in the upper and middle class homes. The problem
becomes all the more difficult to assess as it exists within the boundary walls of
homes.
According to some estimates, around 15.5 million children are involved in paid
or unpaid domestic work in home of a third party or employer. Many of these
children are working under hazardous conditions or in circumstances
tantamount to slavery.
Girls in domestic labor far outnumber boys, although boys also feature in
significant numbers and are exposed to similar problems and vulnerabilities.
Starting from January 2010 to September 2013, about 44 cases of torture on
Child Domestic Laborers were reported in the media. There are 24 cases in
which Child Domestic Labors died due to severe torture inflicted upon them by
their employers.
Track record of these cases has shown that situation as a whole is alarming
where general acceptance of internal trafficking, severe torture, abuse,
exploitation, forced labor, slavery and murders of helpless and innocent Child
Domestic Labors persist in the society which is augmented with the lack of any
legislative framework.

19
In the light of the UNCRC and its Optional Protocol on Sale of Children, Child
Prostitution and Pornography, ILO’s Conventions 138,182 and the Constitution
of Pakistan, Child Domestic Labor should be declared a form of slavery and the
worst forms of child labor; and should be banned. However, it remains
uncovered in all of laws dealing with child labor in Pakistan.
ILO’s Domestic Workers Convention (No. 189) and Recommendation (No.
201) prohibit child domestic labor. Pakistan in view of the large number of
children working in this sector and living a miserable life should ratify this
Convention at the earliest.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of children Act, 2015
Back in 2015, The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of
Children Act, 2015 was passed, prohibiting child labour in the province. In
2016, the Government of Punjab passed a similar piece of legislation to restrict
child labour.
In line with ILO’s C138 - Minimum Age Convention, 1973, the Act defines
children and adolescents as follows:
Child: “Child means a person who has not completed his fourteenth year of
age. - The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of Children
Act, 2015
Adolescent: “Adolescent" means a person who has completed fourteenth but

20
has not completed his eighteenth year of age” - The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Prohibition of Employment of Children Act, 2015
The bar set by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for allowing
employment for ‘adolescents’ is 14 to below 18 years, with provision for 12
year old children to be employed for light work.
Light Work
Since the Act allows 12 year old children to engage in ‘light work’, the Act also
defines ‘light work’ and the associated criteria tied to it, which is as follows:
“Light work means work, which is not likely to cause harm to health or impede
the physical or mental development of a child engaged in such work” - The
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of Children Act, 2015
“Prohibition of employment - No child shall be employed or permitted to work
in any establishment: Provided that a child not below the age of 12 years may
be engaged in the light work, alongside his family member, for a maximum of
two hours per day mainly for the purpose of acquiring skills, in a private
undertaking, or in any school established, assisted or recognized by Government
for such purpose.” - The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment
of Children Act, 2015
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of Children Act, 2015 is
more comprehensive than The Employment of Children Act 1991 in prohibiting
and regulating work for children and adolescents. Not only does the Act ban
child labour for children but also defines ‘light work’ for children, and regulates
work for adolescents by defining ‘hazardous work’.

21
Breach of The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of Children
Act, 2015 by employing children can result in a penalty of up to 6 months, or a
fine of Rs 50,000, or both. The penalty for employing children for ‘hazardous
work’ under this act is punishable by up to 3 years’ imprisonment, with a fine
that can be as much as 100,000, (at least Rs 10,000). Similarly, employment of
adolescents under conditions in breach of the act can result in a 1 year
imprisonment, a fine of Rs 75,000 or both.

22
The State of Pakistan’s children

23
Psychosocial problems:
The main psychosocial problem of the society is poverty and illiteracy because
most of parents are poorand illiterate. Because due to illiteracy most of the
parents beat their children & this is main cause of psychosocial problem. Due to
which they do not maintain their selves according to society and community.
Observation:
They will be provided with vocational training, medical attention, a hot and
healthy meal, and access to basic education, sanitation facilities, psycho-social
support and other leisurely facilities.
