Coronavirus and the Brickyards

3/26/2020

 
Covid-19 requires the best of us, and I do mean to say us. While many are confined to our homes, there is a deep sense that we are all in this together.  Nations are uniting, medical facilities are merging, and competing suppliers are working together to fill the most pressing needs.  We are more aware than ever that we are all connected through the pandemic that is facing our world. Together, we will not only come through the challenges that face us, but we will be better because of them!

At All People Free our work is to end slavery for those stuck in the brick kilns. We are clearer on that mission now than ever before.  We believe with your help we will see slavery end for millions.

While we continue to support our work in the brickyards, these uncertain times have changed some of the immediate needs we are faced with. The health and safety of our students and families are our first priority. Currently, our schools are on hold to try to slow the spread of covid-19. We are continuing to pay our teachers and partners through this time, and they are doing everything they can to keep themselves and their families safe while also staying connected to the brickyards and families needs.

  • We are putting together 16 small businesses that will be accessible and sustainable alternative employment for those in the brickyards seeking to get out. 
  • We currently have 10 schools running, and one of those schools has 67 students!
  • There are several teachers teaching at our schools. They each are working to bring our students up through a 5th grade education. We are so grateful for our teachers and proud of the work they are doing!

Women's Day

3/6/2020

 
March 8th is International Women's Day and in Pakistan thousands of women will take to the streets to protest, many of whom have histories of being enslaved in brickyards. Pakistani women are fighting for the right to determine what happens to their bodies. According to Amnesty International (linked below), that includes "sexual and reproductive rights, and freedom from physical abuse, domestic violence and rape, or being subjected to any medical procedure without informed consent." 

Women everywhere deserve to be free, and we stand with them as they fight for the freedom they deserve.
