Conspiracy of Silence.
It is not secret that child labor exists on an extensive scales in Pakistan. This is despite the fact that Pakistan has signed and ratified, since December 1990, the CRC ( Un Convention on the rights of the child) which, under its Article 32, protects children from employment that is likely to be hazardous health or interferes with there education and development.
Child labor is sometimes justified due to the fact that is confused with child work. The letter is distinguishable from the former in that young people indulging in the child labor are exploited, overworked or deprived of their rights to health or education or just to childhood. The danger in defending child labor is that it gradually results in its societal acceptance.
