More than 500 children a year are gone missing in Pakistan. Young children are kidnapped and made them forcibly beggars, thief, pick picketers, domestic servants etc. They become the agents of drug mafia. Human trafficking is common and many lifted children are smuggled abroad as camel jockeys or camel kids. There are plenty of forms that show the violation of Children’s rights.
CAUSES:
- There are no result oriented public awareness campaigns about treating children with respect.
- Those who mistreat children are never punished.
- Photographs of disappeared children are not regularly displayed on television, public places or other sources of media.
- Poverty leads parents to allow their children to be employed in Gulf States as camel jockeys.
