How Millions Are Trapped In Modern-Day Slavery At Brick Kilns In Pakistan | Risky Business
Entire families in Pakistan work dangerous jobs at brick kilns to pay off snowballing debts to kiln owners. Workers don't have bank accounts and make so little they have to keep borrowing just to get by.
Many viewers have asked us how they can help the Meghwar family, featured in our documentary. The Green Bricks Foundation is raising money for them and plans on building a school for children in Azad Nagar. greenbricksfoundation.com/

How Millions Are Trapped In Modern-Day Slavery At Brick Kilns In Pakistan | Risky Business
The fact the entire family is stuck doing this because of something like a hospital bill is heart breaking
Also their government is allowing it. This should be illegal.

Making people work off their "debt" without telling them how much they owe and exploiting both their labour and illiteracy is absolutely heinous. I would be surprised if any family has ever actually paid off this "debt". Just a thin excuse for slavery.
Sorry to say but it's true it never paid off they always increase it.

The fact they aren’t angry with the debt collector makes me angry
like they said the kiln owner works like a mafia and uses violence so they are most likely very very angry but also extremely scared to express that

WTF?!?! 2 decades? 4 people worked for 2 decades to pay off ONE bill?

@@drsatan9617"debt" that doesn't even have a number
Modern day slavery is more evil because there are no physical chains
@@drsatan9617 The difference is immaterial legalese. The UN (rightly) recognizes indentured servitude as slavery.
It said there being paid a dollar 50 a day it's just there way of life at this point and a dollar 50 is low but not uncommon in areas like this I think there roughly 3 dollars or 4 dollars a day now hence the 50% margain there taking from them it's slavery but there also just really poor there
There’s no damn way their orginal debt hasn’t been payed off already or nearly so. The kiln owners are cruel to inflict this on these people.😔
Yup and it’s their own people doing it to them too. This is why I can’t stand people who are racist. They don’t even realize people from their own race are stealing from them or killing them.

I remember doing a research project on modern day slavery, and the brick making slaves as a senior in high school. That was 12 years ago. It sucks knowing nothings changed.
Even worse is the slavery coming back to the US. While the people who support it lecture everyone on the past.
They are minority infidels. Religion of peace doing its best work. Call it what it is.
Yeah? Your research should show that at every point of human civilization, every single piece of the world was involved in slavery. From Natives and Blacks in America, to Aztecs conquering tribes, to the Greeks and Roman’s, to britian and India, to China and japan. Every country has or had slaves. Other countries do proxy slavery. Nothing will change because nothing has changed. Your high school project just shined a light on a system that has been in effect for literally tens of thousands of years.
and nothing will change, hence why millions of them leave each year
That caste system has got to go.
My question is: what can we do about this? Whenever I watch a documentary like this, I’m saddened, heartbroken, and grateful for the knowledge, but I’m always left feeling like, “Okay, now what can I do to alleviate their suffering?”
8.3 million of us could donate a dollar
@@still_have_chaosthough the owner doesn't deserve any, after two decades they are still under debt? No way. Even if we donate, the problem will persist in the future for other families in the same circumstance, greed knows no bounds. The issue needs to be resolved to the root, enforcing proper laws to protect from what are basically scams by loan sharkers, make it illegal for such stuff to be possible with no proper contract and unacceptable interest rate, even the thought of debt being something you can pass to your kids should be illegal. Now I'm not aware of what the legal system is like for the place they live in, but if possible I'd rather donate for a lawsuit to be conducted against the landowner, hopefully trow him in prison so he can't pull something like that to another family.
Exactly! Can't we buy them out of slavery? Assuming we knew how much was supposedly still owed.

I've been to Pakistan myself, and brick kilns are not just awful but often illegal. They cause insane smog in Lahore, and are often unregulated. Their debts are definitely paid off, and they're unfortunately trapped in slave conditions with no concept or moral to get out of it. It's crazy how human beings can convince other humans into slavery, using fear and psychological harassment. If only they knew they were free.

You know what I would do? I would go to the main guy that has that "contract". I would say okay when is my debt done and when have I paid it off? If he doesn't remember or gives me BS, I'll pull out a something that fires (weapon) to him. Ask again. I bet I will have a clear answer then. Funny how people quickly remember something when their life is on the line. It's funny how the people working don't blame the top man. For all they know, the debt could very well be paid off. They could just be working to benefit him. They aren't keeping track after all.

You still dont understand that that debt is way of slave family even if they pay landlord dont free them .its like in american slavery landlord find the way to slave them for life
There are millions of families like this working in the kilns. Are you gonna save them all or just one family because they went viral? The problem with slavery is no one has enough money to buy them all.
In other words they are held hostage.
What truly haunts me is that they have been lead to believe they deserve this. There is nothing that could justify this, and absolutely nothing that could lead me to believe that a child deserved to be born into paying back a debt that they did not create. Really, no debt should lead to this…
Children paying debt is normal even in West, but only if you choose to inherit. What is happening in this video is terrible. That isn't how any debt should work.
Noone's talking about how it's the parents' fault. IMO giving birth to a child who cannot even consent to pay back their debt is the most degenerate and immoral act a person can commit. It's like that Frankenstein story.
@@create306 shut yourself up. what medical facilities were there in Pakistan ( Thar region especially ) 24 years ago ? it is the Hindu suppression by mulsims of Pakustan ! 1) 4-5 times inflated bills by the mulsim doctors. 2) then this unaccounted collection. dig a little deep - & you will find , they were offered " convert to Islam &; we will write off half of your debt" a few years ago ! Did you ever wonder what happened to their daughter ? most probably snatched away at the age of 6-8 years !
You pay tax and think the government is entitled to money you never consented to giving them simply because you happened to be born there. It's exactly the same mentality.
Ppp
The fact that I feel pretty cash strapped in America yet could single handedly pay off these people’s life debt is… surreal to me.
With a $20 well placed you could definitely save someone's life or at least have a extremely positve long term influence in someone's life... Im 23 and lost 4 years or saving, around $80,000 and Im often contemplating suicide but video like those always help to open you eyes a little 😅. No matter how bad I have it, im still easily in the top 5% of the world population.
I’m seriously down with paying their debt
Anyone have their contact number .will try to pay their loan inshallah
Just feeds the problem. The owner just learns they can bilk us of foreign aid and turns into a minor warlord. Then when we send a bunch of special forces over there, you bleeding hearts whine about that, too. The bigger picture is: everyone should be armed and everyone should be removing proven evil people. (Innocent until proven guilty, don't forget.) No one deletes evil, and so it grows. We disarm the citizens and it grows. We print money to help the warlords and it grows. One day it will consume everything.
@Vaccinium augustifolium Stay strong, life has ups and downs and you're at a down turn right now, hopefully you get back up.
This is the reason why literacy is so damn important. It’s heartbreaking to see people getting exploited and abused like this and signing a debt that they don’t understand. “Slavery is banned. What can we do to continue exploiting people and make them work for free?” “Just make them sign a contract that they don’t understand, and then trap them in never ending debt, so they’ll work for us forever to pay off their debt!”

Brick kiln slavery is very common in India too. Maybe more serious since here the lands of small farmers are snatched by kiln owners by hook or by crook.

Our bricks are seriously Red.
@@dharmeshyadav4563 My blood boils thinking about the treatment of those stuck on the bottom of the economic ladder. Whether Pakistan, India, Congo or the US, it's always about haves and have nots, the real struggle is never about the religion, ethnicity or skin color.
It sucks knowing the kiln owner could actually pay them a decent wage and still make livable profit, but refuses so they can be indebted for life just to make his overhead expense practically non existent. Its the inherent evil in a lot of humans that keeps us from progressing as a society.
Society is a myth. History boils down to someone trying to enslave others. Always has always will. The only response in the end is violence to rid the world of as many evil individuals as possible.

First of all, thanks those people for saving 17.000 people. I visited NGO website to see how we can contribute. I wish they could create target e.g they can make a case for each child/adult and their debt. Molham Team does similar cases for Syrians in Idlib. I might try my best to pay a debt of a child or a part of it instead of donation some amount.
The fact that the lil boy didn't know his age hurt my heart!!! This is sad!!
Facts that shiid hit different
I'm sure he does know, he just doesn't want to say it cause it could get him and his family in trouble.
@@OpheliaNL definitely could be possible
First time I heard the concept of a birthday was when I turned 10. I lived in India in a middle class family but lived in a village. I wasn’t sad that I didn’t know my age or that I didn’t have birthdays or get gift. Life was still happy.
That was the problem for you?
You can't imagine the life of minorities in Pakistan
It's so heart breaking😢😢
إن شاء الله I will try help
This is absolutely horrible. 23 years and the debt still isn't paid off?!?! They've probably already paid off their debts and just kept here because the owners know they can't do anything. They also took out a loan for a medical issue! They don't deserve this. I feel so bad for these families and hope they can somehow get out of this system. When the mom said she had no dreams for her children or for her it made my heart drop. Also, the fact that these people think they deserve this! If humans can't be nice to other species, the least they can do is be nice to each other. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully, change can be made.
They keep taking more money as debt, i’ve looked into these issues personally and this is what i found.
@@fireblade3655rich = created slavery Just like the white British
I have encountered some people stuck in a similar situation. Interest on debt can be up to 20% per month. Which is outrageous, but the people who are stuck in this kind of stuff don't even know what percent means, so they just agree to anything.

I agree, Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
Well then do something about it. If you’re so virtuous. Pay off their debts and let them move into your house. Then take care of all their kids no one forced them to have.

The Pakistani government is directly to blame for allowing this corruption to thrive. No nation can be considered "modern" if a child is allowed to endure what these children are going through.
They just don't care and could never give a damn about these poor people because they are too busy looting the wealth of people
Exactly... this is exactly why our forefathers in the U.S. had the 'debt law' put into the constitution. No one can be forced to pay another persons debt. The Pakistani government could stop this if they wanted to.

If you live in america you can actively help change these conditions by only buying local and USA made products and food. Most of what the average American uses daily is imported from countries that don't have an active enforcement to stop bond/child labor. If you continue to buy these products it will only continue the demand for new workers, the reason why nothing has changed in decades.
@@brandigreco5475 Too bad manufacturing isn't coming back. We don't want the environmental impact of producing plastics,etc. We have no choice but to buy from China currently. I agree we should be buying American products every chance we get though. At least what we can find anymore.
@@daddy1571 the thing is we NEED to bring back manufacturing. Because if we have to buy from another nation in order to meet demand, that country will pollute the environment without restraint. And then they have to pollute even further in order to deliver the goods across the world. If we brought back manufacturing here, you would completely cut out the need for transportation of those goods, therefore reducing the impact on the environment directly. Same amount of pollution from manufacturing, but less pollution overall due to better and more sound logistics.
@Daddy Logically it makes no difference where it's made, it still emits the same amount. The only thing that changes is whos to blame for it. It's still the American manufacturers relying on cheap labor for their greed and most of the population chooses to go with it knowingly or not. Again we the people have the power to drive any business into bankruptcy by simply not supporting it and in turn the demand for local products will go up. The problem is that everyone with the power to stop it is either to ignorant to do anything or is making money from it.
@@brandigreco5475 Everyone with the power wants slave labor from Mexico,etc. That's why nothing is ever done about the borders like in other countries

We are thrilled to share that we have rescued more than 20 families from the brutal conditions of brick kiln factories. These families were forced to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, and sometimes went without food for days, leaving their small children starving as well. They worked under the scorching sun with no access to basic human rights. It's heartbreaking to see the inhumane treatment they were subjected to, but we're dedicated to fighting for their rights and providing them with the resources they need to live with dignity and freedom. Through our efforts, we're providing these families with education and other basic necessities like food and clothing. It's truly heartening to see them now living in freedom and being empowered with education. However, we know that there is still much work to be done. We're committed to continuing our efforts to ensure that more families are rescued from slavery and given the opportunity to build a brighter future. With your support, we can make an even greater impact and help more families escape from these horrific conditions. Let's work together to provide them with the basic human rights they deserve. Join us in the fight to create a better future for these families.

You need to understand that 99.9999% of the NPCs by the age of 25 are dead inside, lonely, wretched and bored to death. NPCs by that age have nobody to: use, abuse, molest, control, dominate, boss around, beat up, kick and punch, gaslight, bully, terrorize, frighten, scare, have expectations from, indoctrinate, brainwash, 'teach' (how to become a complete failure from all points of views), pass on their legacy/bloodline of horrible looks/genetics/disease/tombstone/debt/rotting corps... thus the solution to all of these personal delusional ‘problems’ is to force their victim(s) into existence via breeding like unconscious demonic animals. Once their victim(s) incarnated within 9 months, the 18- 21 year long ‘party’ of absolute terror/hell (for the spawn) can begin. Also, lets not forget all the free money and other benefits/welfare from the gubment the NPCs can get if they force other people into this pointless hellish existence of exploitation, suffering death and eternal torture in hell for 80- 90% of people who were ever forced into existence by a 'loving' god via the collaborator/accomplice breediotards. Who would god terrorize while on earth and torture for eternity while in hell if breediotards were not accomplice/collaborators ? Nobody. I just read this comment few minutes ago: ‘I am truly heartbroken for every baby born because every single one of them WILL suffer, live with uncertainty, and die. I am indirectly responsible for my two granddaughters being here. The 37-year-old just had a stroke, her life is turned upside down. I am crushed, devastated, sick with worry, and it's MY fault because I created her mother when I was selfish/narcissistic and not thinking. It hurts so much to see them suffering that I alone caused via breeding like unconscious demonic animals.’ It's pretty evident that breediotards lack critical thinking when forcing another person into this world. They never think long term but always short term. They have prior knowledge to how horrible this existence is the negatives out weighing the positives but they choose to be Ignorant knowing all of these information but decide to go ahead and breed like unconscious animals and make their spawn suffer and DIE. Breediotards are no better then murders as murders came from breeditoards themselves.
