Christen in Not criticizes modern slavery in Pakistan

The Austrian organization Christen in Not criticized the conditions in brick factories in Pakistan's Punjab province, describing the situation as modern slavery.

Larissa Eckhardt, an employee of the organization, reported these findings to the Kathpress news agency following visits to several factories near Lahore. She stated that many families are trapped in a cycle of debt that spans generations. To pay off loans and earn a living, workers must manually produce approximately 1,000 bricks every day. Eckhardt noted that these conditions involve child labor and offer families almost no way to escape poverty.
