Targeting Child Labor in Pakistan

See full size image

A coalition of labor unions is launching a campaign against the import of surgical instruments made by Pakistani children. The children make scissors, forceps, needle holders, scalpels, speculums, and clamps. The campaign estimates that between 45 and 60 percent of all surgical instruments are imported by the United States. Participants include the International Metalworkers Federation, the International Council of Nurses, and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions

  4. There is a dire need for Pakistan to eradicate child labour by educating children because children are the future of any nation.
