7. Child Domestic Labour (CDL)Domestic work undertaken by children under the legal minimum working age, or by children above the legal minimum age but under the age of 18, under slavery-like, hazardous or other exploitative conditions. Child Domestic Labour is considered the Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL) – Why?CDL is behind closed doors – it is invisible to the public as it is in private houses of Rich and Poor alikeCDL is feminized : in Pakistan more than 85-90% of CDL happen to be girls (6-18 years old)CDL always means VIOLENCE from Mild to Extreme Forms of Violence Against Children (see below) #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL

ILO ILO Convention No. 138 and its Recommendation No. 146: minimum age for admission to employment and work and decent jobs for adults to discourage CDLILO Convention No. 182 and Recommendation No. 190: Worst forms of child Labour that are hazardous for children, Physical, Psychological and Sexual abuse

18. Domestic Laws to end CDL in Pakistan Employment of Children Act, 1991 : No Children below 14 Years shall be employed or permitted to workThe Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of Children Act, 2015 (Act No. XIX of 2015): Prohibits the employment of children (Under 14) in any work except for light work for a maximum of two hours a day if this is part of their training or with family members. No adolescent (Between 14 to 18) is to be employed or permitted to work in any hazardous workTHE PUNJAB RESTRICTION ON EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN ACT 2016 (Act L of 2016) Prohibition on employment. – (1) An occupier shall not employ or permit a child (Under 15) to work in the establishment - (2) An occupier shall not employ or permit an adolescent to perform any hazardous work in the establishment.THE SINDH PROHIBITION OF EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN ACT, 2017: Prohibition of employment - (1) No child (under 14) shall be employed or permitted to work in any establishment.

The minimum age for children to work under newly enacted legislation is 14 years in KP and 15 years in Punjab. The minimum age for hazardous work still remains 14 in Baluchistan and Islamabad, but has been raised to 18 years in KP, Punjab and Sindh

19. What is the Problem ? Our Leaders are not Serious about Child Labor and Ending Child Domestic Labor – just look at the high figures from the Labor Force Surveys of the Govt. of Pakistan (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics) – many perhaps have CDL in their own homesAge of the Child – confusing, conflicting and without consensus; Why? (For Education Minimum age is 16, For Labour 3 provinces minimum age is 14 and in Punjab is 15)Inconsistency in defining the Child in Constitution and The Laws Birth Registration rate in Pakistan –why not mandatory at all costs 19% (ASER2019) children 5-16 years still not in schools (Primary to Secondary) 19.1 million- AEPAM not in schools- (of Total- 62.1 million children /2017 National Census) #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL #ENDCDL

20.

28. Sample Letter to the Prime Minister- of PakistanThe Prime Minister promised in his 70 minutes maiden address in Aug , 2018 that he will ensure children’s nutrition, health and education – He is Clearly Not Following His Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHGuWCLB7O0Imran Khan’s Maiden Speech I want to tell you that on the other hand there exists a society around us that spends on humans and now I want t ell you what is the condition of human beings here and this is not ( juts being said by)Imran Khan, but it is a report of "UNDP" . According to this report Pakistan is among those 5 countries in which most of our children die before the age of 5 due to diseases caused by contaminated water . Pakistan is also included in top 5 countries of the world where rate of female mortality is very high . unfortunately, we are among the top 5 countries in the world where children Die because of mal nutrition resulted in stunted growth. I have been telling people till today, but people have not understood. Today I show you a picture that shows a 2-year-old child on one side who is is getting nourishing food, and has normal mental healthl and on the other hand, a child of 2 years has been shown with insufficient diet. His brain has not been growing completely .We are talking about 45 percent of Pakistan's children, that is, almost every other Pakistani child, suffers from this disease. I am worried because we are not able to give them food completely and they are not getting nutrition too, and thus they have left behind in the race of life. They can not compete.They can not move forward in the 21st century . what were feelings of parents of those children I am telling you just to make you realize that where are we standing in this regard and how we will change our way Insha ALLaha . The Prime Minister stated that there are two paths in front of us, one which we have been following and reached here, nation in debt, which has no money to spend on its children, to raise the standard of living of its people, to help its farmers, which cannot provide clean drinking water to its citizens even children https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/357736-complete-text-of-imran-khans-maiden-speechHonorable Mr. Prime Minister We, the Children of Pakistan are NOT SAFE Today ; child lives are endangered and so are their entitlements /rights as given in the Constitution of Pakistan We Demand To Live, Be Educated, Protected and Defended We Demand that CDL become a part of the Children Employment Act 1991 as the worst forms of Child Labor and the age be raised to 18 years, with replacement of Article 11.3 of the Constitution. “No child below the age of 16 shall be engaged in any household, factory, mine, hazardous or non-hazardous employment in any capacity. Children aged from 16 to 18 may work only in non-hazardous occupations, and only under well-defined code of working conditions and hours.”We demand that We the Children of Pakistan (0-18 years) Should ALL Be Given a Child Registration Card (CRC) By NADRA just like adults; this must be directed by the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Interior/Home Ministry. A CRC should be given to us as a fundamental right for our identity and protection; this will ensure that each time: An employer ; A parent/step parent /guardian ; A Trafficker /Employment Agent ; A marriage bureau/agent (formal /informal); A spouse ; A nikahkhwan ; A School head ; A Health and Nutrition worker A social safety net agency tries to place us in a compromise situation and blocks our rights to access opportunities (registration/health, education, social safety nets, transportation etc. ) , the CRC number be checked immediately to state clearly about our AGE and OUR RIGHTS We the Children are leading the campaign for Child Rights for Our Survival, Protection and Development – We do not want another Zohra Shah… No More! #ENDCDL We kick this off with the Tragic Loss of our Sister Zohra Shah who symbolizes – courage to act in liberating the ‘caged parrots’ but now we must have the courage to liberate ourselves too so that we do not hear of another death like hers! Her Life and Sacrifice will not be in vain

29. Naeem Sadiq suggestions(Activist and Writer)Constitution –Fundamental Rights: Article 11(3) of the Constitution ought to be replaced by: “No child below the age of 16 shall be engaged in any household, factory, mine, hazardous or non-hazardous employment in any capacity. Children aged from 16 to 18 may work only in non-hazardous occupations, and only under well-defined code of working conditions and hours.”Delayed Actions: After ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Child in 1990, it took 27 years for Pakistan to enact the National Commission on the Child Rights Act and another three years to establish the commission (2020). The Sindh Child Protection Authority Act was enacted in 2011 but the authority not established till 2016. The Punjab Domestic Workers Act enacted in 2019 is still awaiting notification of dispute resolution committees. Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and Balochistan have not even bothered to enact laws for domestic workers. The care and attention given to stray dogs in Turkey far exceeds the protective measures we have in place for our children.Database : Pakistan has failed to establish a single national helpline and a single child abuse database. Helplines: There are over two dozen semi-functional helplines that provide little or no help. The Sindh Child Protection Helpline 1121 has not responded for the last three months. The state is dragging its feet on notifying ZAARA, an agency required to be formed under the Zainab Alert Act 2020. There ought to be a single nationwide child protection helpline and citizens encouraged and incentivised to report cases of child domestic workers below the age of 16.
