Human Rights in Pakistan With Special Focus Bonded Labour

This study explores the issue of human rights of bonded labor and women in Pakistan. Bonded labor and women are very weak segments of our policy focus and empirical research. The study provides new insights into the thematic exploration in a qualitative study. The data was accessed through interviews, witnesses and oral opinions from the respondents. Meetings, observations and informal methods of data collection were also used. This has focused to investigate how, when and where human rights of bonded/fortified workers have been violated. The study provides a theoretical perspective on the roots and history of human rights. Human Rights can be defined as the most inalienable rights of the people ensured by the constitution and safeguarded by the judiciary and criminal justice system. Human rights in Islam are derived from the Will of God. God has created humans equally and there is no discrimination on the basis of caste, creed and color. However, before Allah the righteous are highly valued. No political authority but Allah alone has sole power of governing the rights of global humanity. The Human Rights of laboring class is highly challenging theme especially in context of Pakistan. Pakistan belongs to kind of a country where millions of people are undergoing hard labor. There are substantial pockets of laboring in all provinces of Pakistan. The earliest theorists like Karl Marx and Mex Weber meticulously focused on laboring perspective, labor economy, capitalistic injustices and low wages of laboring population. Capitalists have created an unequal structure for the poorest classes enabling powerful class to control their fate. Social and economic structures thus created will never secure and protect the laboring population on any part of the globe. World would be never stable without balancing the inequitable resources. Slavery and labor victimization are continued all over the world in various forms and manifestations. Country like Pakistan is no exception to the bitter scenario. This study is conducted in provinces of Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan on the laboring in the context of their human rights status. Interviews, witness opinions, case-profiles and secondary information were utilized in the study. As research design the study included data collected from twenty one (21) districts along with information related to twenty six (26) districts of Baluchistan. The study focused the eleven (11) localities from Sindh province and seven (7) regions of Balouchistan. Further, the field study included its activity to talking to respondents (52 percent) of area of Sindh and twenty seven (27) belonging to Baluchistan. Women have been symbolized as commodity for male members in tribal structure. Women are considered Zar (wealth) which is possessed by men. There are terms like Zar (wealth), Zamin (land) and Zan (woman) which actually portray and reflect how we treat our women. Women face all sorts of sacrifices when revenges/enmities are settled. (Mehdi, 2000) It is very complex to investigate the issue of Bonded labor in Pakistan due to several constraints rooted in culture, society and political milieu. It is very difficult to know and address the slavery and servitude in Pakistan. Asian Development Bank has indicated a significant volume of destitution and slavery occurring in Sindh and Baluchistan. People are bonded by strongers and kept in captivation. Labor violations in Sindh are deep-rooted in land holdings and nature of distribution of lands. There is very high number of landless farmers in Sindh. Punjab has proprietorship on seven sections of land and Sindh has possession on twenty eight sections of land. International Labor Organization (ILO) depicts 1.8 million people who are involved in fortified work in Pakistan while majority of them are landless peasants found in Sindh. Today, Sindh has the most elevated rate of landlessness in Pakistan. More than 40 percent of the area in Sindh is tenanted out by enormous proprietors. There are about 1.2 million who are fortified in work along with their women and children. Sindh Tenancy Act has failed to protect the purview- fortified workers. The Bonded Labor Abolition Act has also failed to abolish Bonded Labor in Pakistan. Female babies born from age one to four are highly susceptible to death, disease and malnutrition.

International Law on children also prohibits trafficking of children and amounts to criminal implications for the offender. Prostitution of all kinds is globally prohibited by world laws and penal codes of all respective countries.
