Make slavery history, civil society urges government

LAHORE: Slavery may have been abolished on paper, but that is it. In Pakistan, slavery has taken many new forms and shape, human and social rights activists observed on the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery on Wednesday. Activists maintain that slavery still exists in Pakistan in the form of bonded labour, human trafficking, forced marriages, and the exploitation of women and chiuldren. They stressed that legislation outlawing slavery should be properly implemented. They also urged the government to legislate to stop internal human trafficking, which was still not acknowledged as a crime in Pakistan. They urged parliament to assert its authority to improve the human rights condition of the country and to end slavery. Talking to Daily Times, HRCP Vice Chairman Dr Mehdi Hasan said that slavery did not exist on paper, but in reality it was very much present in Pakistan. Dr Mehdi said that laws outlawing such activities did exist, but were unfortunately not implemented. He said civil society, the media and parliament needed to shift their priorities, they needed to talk more about the issues of the common man. The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery is observed every year on December 2. ali usman
