It is said that children are the future of a nation that leads society in a positive way. But, it is observed that they have been working everywhere to help their parents and are deprived of childhood enjoyment. Child labor refers to a crime where children are forced to work from a very early age. Moreover, it is like an expecting kids to perform responsibilities such as working to earn some money for themselves.

  It is said that the average age for a child to be appropriate to work is considered fifteen years and more. Children falling below this age limit won't be allowed to indulge in any type of work forcefully, because child labor takes away the kids' opportunity of having a normal childhood, a proper education, and physical and mental well-being. Further, it happens due to a number of reasons while some reasons are common in some countries like poverty, and unemployment.

 Apart from this, in Pakistan, it is seen that the government has not focused any sort of attention on Baloch children and they are in different workplaces to earn money to help their family members. Children are being found everywhere who are working day and night. It is my request to the government of Balochistan and also other countries to pay attention to their lives to facilitate the children to make their bright future.
