Pakistan - Bonded Labourers

Families trapped in the bonded agreement all work together, the men and women preparing the clay and making bricks while the children gather them and ferry the building materials in the hazardous kiln area. A study by the Bonded Labour Liberation Front Pakistan (BLLFP) a group of charities working to help the laborers estimates 4.5 million brick kiln workers are victims of this illegal custom. Some bonded labourers manage to escape, with help of activists or police. In southern Sindh province, a community of freed labourers live in a settlement known as Himatabad, which means Courage Town.
