No One Is Free Until All People Are Free
There are over 2,100,000 people enslaved in the brickyards of Pakistan – almost half of them children. It’s time to do something about it.
Modern Day Slavery
In Pakistan, approximately 1,000,000 children are hand-making bricks in devastating conditions to pay off ever-increasing family debts – and they have been since they were 6 years old. The brickyard owners use a system of housing debt and substandard pay to enslave whole families for generations, creating a cycle nearly impossible to escape from.
Whole families have been enslaved for generations due to the vicious cycle of debt and poverty
Brickyard owners charge families more for housing than they pay them in wages, effectively ensuring they never leave the brickyard
Without an education, children have no chance to find opportunity outside the brickyards

-Nelson Mandela
