Abstract

Children are facing many problems in Pakistan. They have been the victim of violence (killing), deprived of education, and compelled to forced labor. They are suffering from many health hazards. The present article considers some of the factors about the alarming situation before 1970 and after. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (2021), the literacy rate in 1970 was around 21%, which increased to approximately 58% by 2020, but with major disparities in access. This has been attributed to the lack of faith-based education in the schools.
Keywords: Rights, Islam, Children, Violence, Medico-social aspects
