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.

I hope so in the future I am capable of helping these people to come out from this type of place. ( In Sha ALLAH)

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.
@Karl with a K you could enjoy a much MUCH better life even while being unemployed and broke in the US than these guys will ever be with their "steady work". hell prison life in the US is much better than their working and living condition.
The landlord is a f****** criminal keeping this family as slaves over a debt that was probably paid 20 years ago. Let's hope this will bring more light to this story.
Debt ain't paid if you never actually write down the fact that the funds earned were ever put towards it; the family likely doesn't have any witnesses nor do they check themselves to make sure it's actually being paid. The effort they make is entirely towards their daily labors, rather than truly making sure their eventual freedom is secured. That said, from what's said here, it seems as if the guy never actually made the debt itself official, as it'd tie him to the whole scam from the start. ...Which means they've failed not only to check whether the debt is _actually_ being paid and demanding to see evidence thereof, but also that they've failed to consider he may not have ever recorded the debt in the first place. They may not be able to read, but for legal matters like these, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to seek out literally anybody that _CAN_ read to confirm. They'd just have to be sure the fella reading on their behalf is honest and ain't corrupted by the kiln owner.
the worst thing is , they made of actaully payed the dept years ago but since there are no records and they are illiterate- the owner my just keep them for life as slaves.
The documentary revealed everything about the workers, their name, their house, etc. The documentary didn't reveal the kiln owner, the brick company. The owner can easily go after the worker while the journalist gets away scott free. It feels like the journalists have also exploited the workers.

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!”
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.
@BloodyPuppy007 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 !

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.
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.
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.

To migrate to the US requires significant amounts of money. Most people can't afford that. I was smart enough to receive full scholarships when I was young (I almost couldn't continue my education because of poverty). However, growing up in a third world country or developing county, the government could only offer scholarships to very few students (especially if the government is corrupt, the chances are very small). Many kids couldn't continue their education because of poverty and ended up having to go to work instead. Life is extremely hard in many countries still. It doesn't matter if you are born a genius, if your family doesn't have enough money and are not supportive of your Education, it's very hard to create a comfortable life in the future. A strong will alone is not enough to succeed in many circumstances.. Ideally, education should be free for everyone. It's a human right. Talking about pursuing a dream overseas for a better future, people from where I'm from who could afford to study or migrate to develop countries are rich people 😅.

Since you are so concerned with prices rising, how about you trade places with this family then? If a good or service cannot be delivered for a reasonable price, without resorting to this kind of exploitation it should not exist at all. Paying a reasonable or fair price for their labor would not result in everything becoming unplayable all of a sudden, most of what you are paying now is ending up in the pockets of the wealthiest individuals anyway. These people could be paid a reasonable or normal amount and there would still be enough profit for the business owner, they will just have to do with not being in the top 1% instead being the top 10% wealthiest individuals. By defending these kind of practices you are actively contributing to the propagation of this kind of exploitation.

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.
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.

The Pakistani Army is the biggest slaveowner. The pakistani army takes prime farmland and gives that to its officers and generals to build gated societies and golf courses. Leaves the rest of the pakistani people to starve.
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. Further, the slavery continues in family as the kiln owner make sure that no education is received by slaves and also they don't get into any other income generating activity.

@@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.

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.

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.

Do you know about the islamic conversion NGO s working among these poorest of poor humans paying back their debt inorder to convert them to islam?.. !.. or that its among these poor humans that girls are abducted and married off to elder men after conversion to islam and families could not do anything... !!..

Pakistan was a nation made by a modernized idiot man called jinnah, who called him a "moslem" and hypocrite ate pork and drank alcohol. Jinnah was not even a proper Muslim and wanted a nation for Muslims of India. Every wealthy moslem has commandments to help poor, Donate 2.5% of total wealth (Gold and other asset)

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.😢😢
I went to Pakistan last year. Went to some kilns like this and spent the day talking to the people. Beautiful people in terrible conditions. We are working to help them escape this slavery.
5:03 the boy says his parents are proud of his work and I can’t imagine feeling happy because you’re good at something you’re not even supposed to know at his age
Not "supposed" to know? Living in the wild in tribes, families or alone, surviving... fighting, raping, stealing,killing and foraging is what we our "supposed" to know.. every society at any point has different ideas of what is "supposed" to be known/done.. What a dunce statement
@@mandelorean6243you think we’re supposed to rape and steal ? As in that was the state of man before the development of agriculture and civilisation? That obviously goes against the majority of social codes / tribal rule, enough to get one killed or exiled .
To be born in a country with this type of atrocities is terrible, but the mother saying "I don't have dreams for my children" as a father that hit hard and when she paused that hit even harder. I can't believe someone can do this to another human being.
These types of atrocities and even worse things happen in almost every country. Just because you live in one of the few rich ones doesn't mean you can expect the rest of the world to be the same.
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.
@@hydrocarbon13 We can absolutely expect things to be better than they are. Nobody made the rich landowners enslave that family over the cost of a hospital bill. That's not a "it sucks but there just aren't enough resources to expect better" that's regular exploitation that doesn't have to happen. There is no culture background or level of poverty to justify slavery
@@hydrocarbon13 no, that was uncalled for. Even first world countries arent any close to perfect and just because atrocities happen in other countries doesnt mean we have to ignore them or let them be because they are not us. Slavery is never justified, poverty is never the only choice. Sure it would be very difficult to change it, but no one in the world deserves to be treated like that and to have a life denied just because of richer people abusing their wealth or cultural things like being born poor justifies not being able to look up to a better life.

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.

There is a lot your government hides from you by projecting your attention to hate Indians. Hopefully one day, the truth comes out and people can live in peace by solving internal issues.
@@aaa54583 i m not mad, i am just sad that these people are living life of animals just because of rich elites of Pakistan who never ever bothered to come out of their lavish mansions and luxury cars and watch how people of their own country is living the worst of the worst life anyone can even imagine.
It makes me want to go over to the kiln owner and say “here is $500. Now this family can go.” They would probably make him mad, though. And I’d feel so bad for not helping the other families.
Not how it works. You could do that but they would just enslave them again, and maybe you too in fact. You can't look at this like it's some legit transaction. This is a cartel of slave owners. They say words to pretend like they're operating within some law but they aren't at all. It's slavery pure and simple. If they need a body cuz someone died, they walk right into those "free" villages and kidnap themselves another slave
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?”
@@Matrixicianthough 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.
@@cody8217hospital bills, rent is essentially slavery because you're forced to work in a job for someone you otherwise wouldn't so you can have a place to stay. Land is expensive poor people can't afford it so they work day in day out to pay their monthly dues and never come up with anything more than a few hundred maybe leftover. It's the same debt slavery but toned down significantly.

The fact this channel probably made 10x or more than the families debt from recording their struggle, proves how the rich get richer, and no one actually cares about anyone other than making money.
Ok. Now that youre sad and aware… what are you gonna do about it? Nothing? We’ve been living in a world where people like this make our clothes and toys and parts. Yet no one blinks an eye. This is why i NEVER EVER complain about my life or having to do any sort of work. Thats the least i can do.
@@K0UM0M that phrase "give a man a fish and feed him once, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime" is wrong. It should be "teach a man to fish and give him a fishing rod". Poor people remain poor because they're born in difficult circumstances.
I have no words. This kid doesn't deserve this, his mom doesn't deserves this. Nobody deserves this 😢 Being a citizen of Pakistan, this hurts me to my core. The least I can do is spread the word on social media and hope for authorities to notice. People here can also join in 🙏
No, you live in Pakistan. Locate them and pay off their debt, it's a ridiculously low figure of around $100. Too many rich Pakistanis always give this dumb "I'll spread awareness" spiele and never actually do anything tangible. Meanwhile, they have 10 servants, drivers, cooks all around their homes. Even upper class Brits don't have as many servants around the house as Pakistani even middle class people. That's why Pakistan has been a failed country for 75 years.
As a Pakistani I can confirm this happens alot on almost all of the kilns and people are dealt like slaves especially in mostly undeveloped and uneducated parts of the country. Even in punjab it can be seen on many kilns…. Happy to see people are working to stop it as well.

This saddens me. As Ceramic Engineer, I know of safer, efficient and less pollution causing methods to make bricks that don't use child labor or take advantage of desperate families. Just disgusted that this kiln owner has trapped these families in physical and soul-destroying "debt" repayment.
Or telling the people showing empathy to singlehandedly help them. wtf 🤣 conditions like these should be illegal and governments should enforce those rights.
Dear God, 1.50 per day??? How can someone be so cruel against another human being. That poor boy has so much ambition and is willing to work at such a tender age to assist his family with trying to clear a debt that will never be cleared even after they've all died. His grandma at 70. Smh this is just the height of evil. This doesn't have to be but greed and lust for power fuel all these evil acts. It's pains my heart. Sigh

This reminds me how lucky I was to be born in America with a financially secure family. We take so many things for granted that I never even think about until I see people living like this. Those slave owners/loan sharks are disgusting people.
Same here man, I recently lost my job and I thought it was a disaster of epic proportions in my life that I got done dirty by my employers and manager. But after watching this, I feel like a spoilt brat for thinking like that about my situation. At least here in the western world, we can find work again but these people don't have that option. Man we really take a lot of things for granted here.
This man that helps families to escape from slavery is a true pure hearted. Bless him❤ It's just heartbreaking to see these children suffer 😞 Bless you Sir for helping these people.
"It is now our fate to work this job." The fact that the child is so resigned to the system that holds him in bondage is depressing, but sadly not surprising when that's all he's been told
Western adults with a 9-5 “It is now our fate to work this job.” Their level of ignorance is no different than the average westerner clinging to jobs that take away autonomy and underpay.
Well, that's how slavery works, basically. Using force and violence to force people to do something is only moderately succesful. The 'best' slavery is when the slaves believe they should be slaves and the society around it doesn't argue against that. Which is why most succesful forms of slavery rely on religion and brainwashing rather than whippings and beatings. India's caste system for example is a wildly succesful form of slavery, it worked much better than say catholic slavers from the Habsburgs abducting Europeans for being protestants and telling them they're now slaves: the victims knew better, tried to escape, demanded better and were never effective workers, while a good part of their own society, or other societies, took violent offense at this form of slavery (hence the brutal nature of the Wars of Religion). Ditto for Japan's caste system; it held for centuries.
Little man is very mature and intelligent. He has been through more than anyone watching this video has been and its incredibly sad to know they are forgotten
When you grow up in conditions like this you question everything, but with composure. The young man is keeping many thoughts to himself. I come from a different part of the world, but a similar situation.
So many people complain about slavery of the past, they don’t seem to see or hear about modern slavery. Yes this is going on all over er the world including the USA with involuntary servitude and sex trafficking. But for some reason more emphasis is placed on the past. How about looking in front of you and open your eyes people!!!!
Why people donate money to the rich and not people like this that actually need support is truly baffling. The saddest part is even with this evidence that we have here, these people will still most likely not receive the help that they need. We are truly living in a mad world...
The mafia is the biggest problem. This is worse in sindh. What they didn't mention is the area where they work they don't even let strangers come in. You could be leaving alive or dead. A regular family man can't even think to visit the place to help. The only way is they smuggle their kids at night so they may have better life in cities. They smugglers just bring them to the city and left them there or introduce them to prostitution. Another problem in Pakistan.
Thank you for spreading this, I helped at one 15 years ago to help families get out of these. This is the first time I've ever heard this problem mentioned by anyone else. Thank you!
Important to know how we can help and change the system so that kids can go to school and they don’t live paying bills let’s find out the name of the owner of the bricks factories there take it to human rights organization make lots of noise!
@@jaimito2525 If we can add a projector screen inside the Pentagon, White house, House of representatives or wherever you make important decisions. And make them sit down and watch videos like this so they know what they are deciding on.
@@jaystackz3425 I say this not to brag but because this is something I'm passionate about and until I watched this I never heard of people in the West talk about this and this video got millions of views which I'm so happy for them. It's very interesting to me. We worked with providing ancillary sources of income and ways the families could save money so these families could get out of their situation and help other families. One of the things I noticed as a teen there was that all the brick pit workers smoked. They already had severe respiratory issues which caused them to miss days at work and cost them medical bills etc. On average they spent 20-30% of their income on cigarettes at one of the pits. I realized that if they didn't buy cigarettes at this brick pit they could have enough money to send roughly half of their kids to school. So I went into town and bought syrums that helped with quitting smoking at a roadside "pharmacy" and brought them back. Amazingly the whole community thought my idea was good and they all quit smoking (after meeting Americans who have tried to quit dozens of times it was amazing that the whole community quit in 1 try). A few years ago those same kids that we helped graduated high school from a local charity school and have skills such as English and computer skills. These are important because the girls or religious minorities won't get good jobs in Pakistan but when they have skills like English or computers they can get jobs since their skills are needed so much. Its obvious to employers if you're a girl and if you're a religious minority such as Christian or Hindu it's stamped on your ID. Schooling is a way out of poverty there. I had no idea that what the brick factory was doing with child labor was illegal. Every brick pit I saw had children working in it. I have pics with kids as young as 6 working there. We did talk to government officials about some atrocities there such as rape and teenagers having tires put around them to be doused in gas and set on fire because of their religion, but the police did little to nothing. The only reason they did anything was because we're white and I guess they saw too many Hollywood movies and think somehow if we don't like what's going on America will come blow them up or something. We were only there for a season and our trip was cut short during nationwide riots (I won't say which ones or that could place us when we went and thus potentially place our hosts in trouble) but the mobs were killing westerners, NGO workers, missionaries, american news reporters etc so we snuck out inside of a fake wood floor in a van. Anyways we had a few programs while we were there that we helped with or helped start and most of them are still going today! The main thing is I hear everyone say "the rich need to help out, I would help out if I had more money" yet if you made minimum wage the rest of your life here you would be in the top 10% of wage earners in the world (that stat is a few years old so idk what it is now). We are all rich compared to these people and a few dollars goes a long long ways. For example, what I did as a teen was nothing, I think I spent $311 and now an entire community of children graduated school and can read and write and have higher value skills. You can higher a teacher for a full year for a few hundred dollars and buy clean drinking water set ups for $75 that provide water for up to a family of 5 for 4 years. We bought fruit trees and chickens for pennies and I believe our only rule was something like the first flock of the chicks must be given to a neighboring community so they can raise chickens and a portion of the money from the fruit needs to be given to another village to buy fruit trees. Today idk how many dozens of villages have that program now but its expanded massively. Anyways there are a ton of other things like buying them equipment to have their own business like for widows it's really really hard to get a job so we buy them sewing machines so they can still be safe at home but make money from home and not have to be at the mercy of finding employers who will make exceptions for them. Their world is so so much different than ours but all of us can make a difference. Again I don't explain this to anyone to put myself on a pedestal, it was an honor to go and it's an honor to help these brothers and sisters on the other side of the world. It could have been us born there instead of here. Wanna talk about unfair, we have a roof over our heads and 3 square meals a day, and probably a phone and a refrigerator and the ability to go to the hospital, and discretionary spending money for Netflix and Spotify and fast food and the ability to choose where we work and we wake up every morning with astronomically more rights than these people have. In God's sight we're all equal. God has done a lot for me and shown kindness and even the fact we're born in America is a blessing but we don't have blessings for ourselves they're only on loan to us until we die and where we go we can't bring them with us so in the meantime in the New Testament we're called to love God and love others and that includes investing our blessings into others. We are born with nothing and we leave with nothing and rich and poor both can be miserly and both can be generous. I'm just passionate that so many people in the West don't realized how blessed they are and how much of an impact they can make. My experiences and knowledge are thanks to my dad who is dying with Alzheimer's at the moment but who spent his life helping others. Hopefully I can be even half the man he was, and hopefully my life makes a difference to a lot of people.
This is real journalism! Bringing to light actual problems of real people. Kudos to Insider! Indian mainstream news channels should watch this&drown in shame.
Nope. It indentured servitude They aren't owned as property, they have debts to pay. You can't have debt if you are owned as property These are free men and women who work to pay off debt
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
Pakistan was the first country I visited out of my own country, and these kilns are indeed scattered all throughout the country. I never knew that these kilns are just a front for modern day slavery. I hope their government do something to abolish such one sided relationship.

If you see any "online donation charities" for situations like these, be careful that it's not a fraud who is scamming you out of your money.
When you do documentaries like this, can you please post links on ways we can help these people that were in the documentary? I'm sure you revealing the nature of these peoples lives would make countless people watching the videos, including myself, want to find ways to help them.
Sadly I don't think there is any reliable way to help them, and any such links would probably just pocket the money to make more such videos and pocket more money, never directly helping. That seems to be how most charities work, sadly. Very little goes to the cause. Which is a shame, because I would definitely give $150 dollars to get an entire family out of slavery.

Debt ain't paid if you never actually write down the fact that the funds earned were ever put towards it; the family likely doesn't have any witnesses nor do they check themselves to make sure it's actually being paid. The effort they make is entirely towards their daily labors, rather than truly making sure their eventual freedom is secured.
That said, from what's said here, it seems as if the guy never actually made the debt itself official, as it'd tie him to the whole scam from the start.
...Which means they've failed not only to check whether the debt is _actually_ being paid and demanding to see evidence thereof, but also that they've failed to consider he may not have ever recorded the debt in the first place.
They may not be able to read, but for legal matters like these, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to seek out literally anybody that _CAN_ read to confirm.
They'd just have to be sure the fella reading on their behalf is honest and ain't corrupted by the kiln owner.

“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!”

Ask your Western government what their policy on Pakistani slavery is.
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.
Slavery never gone, it's adapting damn well into modern-day society.

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.

To migrate to the US requires significant amounts of money. Most people can't afford that. I was smart enough to receive full scholarships when I was young (I almost couldn't continue my education because of poverty). However, growing up in a third world country or developing county, the government could only offer scholarships to very few students (especially if the government is corrupt, the chances are very small). Many kids couldn't continue their education because of poverty and ended up having to go to work instead. Life is extremely hard in many countries still. It doesn't matter if you are born a genius, if your family doesn't have enough money and are not supportive of your Education, it's very hard to create a comfortable life in the future. A strong will alone is not enough to succeed in many circumstances.. Ideally, education should be free for everyone. It's a human right.

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?
Whenever I feel bad about my life I watch stuff like this. I will never own property, but I am so blessed. I live in a rich country and have my health, family that cares about me, friends, all the mod cons, a comfortable job.
I feel like calling it “modern day slavery” just makes it sound like it’s not as bad. We oughta just call stuff like this slavery period
My ancestors were worked with zero pay, raped, abused and sold as property with less value than a cattle. Same as slavery in ancient times. This however is not the same slavery my ancestors endured.
@@dariusmelasecca2715so? It makes this more acceptable? Slavery shouldn't be measured in pain endured, they are being exploited with no proper contract, ignorant of what they owe, probably under a high outrageous interest rate, it's slavery, period.

The amount of America kids I see take their life for granted, their education not cared about "oh i can retake it during the summer who cares?" just wow, if I dont get a red iphone, with 256gb my birthday is ruined .

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.

To be born in a country with this type of atrocities is terrible, but the mother saying "I don't have dreams for my children" as a father that hit hard and when she paused that hit even harder. I can't believe someone can do this to another human being.
These types of atrocities and even worse things happen in almost every country. Just because you live in one of the few rich ones doesn't mean you can expect the rest of the world to be the same.
It hit the hardest when there are bricks involved.
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.

@@DoodleDoo at current exchange rates , $1.50 is 430 PKR. it is extremely low. for reference , 1 gallon of petrol is about 1,030 PKR. And with current month of Ramadan, when shopkeepers increase the the prices by +300% to 1,600% , it must be very difficult to survive in this condition .
This reminds me how lucky I was to be born in America with a financially secure family. We take so many things for granted that I never even think about until I see people living like this. Those slave owners/loan sharks are disgusting people.
Same here man, I recently lost my job and I thought it was a disaster of epic proportions in my life that I got done dirty by my employers and manager. But after watching this, I feel like a spoilt brat for thinking like that about my situation. At least here in the western world, we can find work again but these people don't have that option. Man we really take a lot of things for granted here.
@@HtheKingso true, sometime we forget how lucky we are In the west

This man that helps families to escape from slavery is a true pure hearted.
Bless him❤
It's just heartbreaking to see these children suffer 😞
Bless you Sir for helping these people.
"It is now our fate to work this job."
The fact that the child is so resigned to the system that holds him in bondage is depressing, but sadly not surprising when that's all he's been told
Western adults with a 9-5 “It is now our fate to work this job.”
Their level of ignorance is no different than the average westerner clinging to jobs that take away autonomy and underpay.
Thats what religion does to people
Well, that's how slavery works, basically. Using force and violence to force people to do something is only moderately succesful. The 'best' slavery is when the slaves believe they should be slaves and the society around it doesn't argue against that. Which is why most succesful forms of slavery rely on religion and brainwashing rather than whippings and beatings.
India's caste system for example is a wildly succesful form of slavery, it worked much better than say catholic slavers from the Habsburgs abducting Europeans for being protestants and telling them they're now slaves: the victims knew better, tried to escape, demanded better and were never effective workers, while a good part of their own society, or other societies, took violent offense at this form of slavery (hence the brutal nature of the Wars of Religion). Ditto for Japan's caste system; it held for centuries.
But their not unemployed 🤔
@@fredpuntdroad8701 what you said is true & correct
It is evil to force children to take on debts of their parents.
Seems like the debt is beyond paid anyways.
Hindu minority in muslim majority Pakistan country
@@greatpathy1546nobody cares about that unless it was India and minority was Muslims. Only then you can say Hindus are oppressors.
This poor people are selfish they doesn't care about their children.
Little man is very mature and intelligent. He has been through more than anyone watching this video has been and its incredibly sad to know they are forgotten
When you grow up in conditions like this you question everything, but with composure. The young man is keeping many thoughts to himself. I come from a different part of the world, but a similar situation.
@@lullaby218 you mean never trust juice*

So many people complain about slavery of the past, they don’t seem to see or hear about modern slavery. Yes this is going on all over er the world including the USA with involuntary servitude and sex trafficking. But for some reason more emphasis is placed on the past. How about looking in front of you and open your eyes people!!!!
Why people donate money to the rich and not people like this that actually need support is truly baffling. The saddest part is even with this evidence that we have here, these people will still most likely not receive the help that they need. We are truly living in a mad world...
The mafia is the biggest problem. This is worse in sindh. What they didn't mention is the area where they work they don't even let strangers come in. You could be leaving alive or dead. A regular family man can't even think to visit the place to help. The only way is they smuggle their kids at night so they may have better life in cities. They smugglers just bring them to the city and left them there or introduce them to prostitution. Another problem in Pakistan.
💯
No these people are broke and can get better😂
CONGRATS your cell phone batter is made by slave labor!!!! Arent you humanitarian of the year?!?!

Thank you for spreading this, I helped at one 15 years ago to help families get out of these. This is the first time I've ever heard this problem mentioned by anyone else. Thank you!
Important to know how we can help and change the system so that kids can go to school and they don’t live paying bills let’s find out the name of the owner of the bricks factories there take it to human rights organization make lots of noise!
@@jaimito2525 If we can add a projector screen inside the Pentagon, White house, House of representatives or wherever you make important decisions. And make them sit down and watch videos like this so they know what they are deciding on.
You helped ? Yeah right and what did your help do
You're white asf dude i bet you looked at a brick took a pic for IG an said " helping these poor families " an left right after you took that picture
@@jaystackz3425 I say this not to brag but because this is something I'm passionate about and until I watched this I never heard of people in the West talk about this and this video got millions of views which I'm so happy for them. It's very interesting to me. We worked with providing ancillary sources of income and ways the families could save money so these families could get out of their situation and help other families. One of the things I noticed as a teen there was that all the brick pit workers smoked. They already had severe respiratory issues which caused them to miss days at work and cost them medical bills etc. On average they spent 20-30% of their income on cigarettes at one of the pits. I realized that if they didn't buy cigarettes at this brick pit they could have enough money to send roughly half of their kids to school. So I went into town and bought syrums that helped with quitting smoking at a roadside "pharmacy" and brought them back. Amazingly the whole community thought my idea was good and they all quit smoking (after meeting Americans who have tried to quit dozens of times it was amazing that the whole community quit in 1 try). A few years ago those same kids that we helped graduated high school from a local charity school and have skills such as English and computer skills. These are important because the girls or religious minorities won't get good jobs in Pakistan but when they have skills like English or computers they can get jobs since their skills are needed so much. Its obvious to employers if you're a girl and if you're a religious minority such as Christian or Hindu it's stamped on your ID. Schooling is a way out of poverty there. I had no idea that what the brick factory was doing with child labor was illegal. Every brick pit I saw had children working in it. I have pics with kids as young as 6 working there. We did talk to government officials about some atrocities there such as rape and teenagers having tires put around them to be doused in gas and set on fire because of their religion, but the police did little to nothing. The only reason they did anything was because we're white and I guess they saw too many Hollywood movies and think somehow if we don't like what's going on America will come blow them up or something. We were only there for a season and our trip was cut short during nationwide riots (I won't say which ones or that could place us when we went and thus potentially place our hosts in trouble) but the mobs were killing westerners, NGO workers, missionaries, american news reporters etc so we snuck out inside of a fake wood floor in a van. Anyways we had a few programs while we were there that we helped with or helped start and most of them are still going today! The main thing is I hear everyone say "the rich need to help out, I would help out if I had more money" yet if you made minimum wage the rest of your life here you would be in the top 10% of wage earners in the world (that stat is a few years old so idk what it is now). We are all rich compared to these people and a few dollars goes a long long ways. For example, what I did as a teen was nothing, I think I spent $311 and now an entire community of children graduated school and can read and write and have higher value skills. You can higher a teacher for a full year for a few hundred dollars and buy clean drinking water set ups for $75 that provide water for up to a family of 5 for 4 years. We bought fruit trees and chickens for pennies and I believe our only rule was something like the first flock of the chicks must be given to a neighboring community so they can raise chickens and a portion of the money from the fruit needs to be given to another village to buy fruit trees. Today idk how many dozens of villages have that program now but its expanded massively. Anyways there are a ton of other things like buying them equipment to have their own business like for widows it's really really hard to get a job so we buy them sewing machines so they can still be safe at home but make money from home and not have to be at the mercy of finding employers who will make exceptions for them. Their world is so so much different than ours but all of us can make a difference. Again I don't explain this to anyone to put myself on a pedestal, it was an honor to go and it's an honor to help these brothers and sisters on the other side of the world. It could have been us born there instead of here. Wanna talk about unfair, we have a roof over our heads and 3 square meals a day, and probably a phone and a refrigerator and the ability to go to the hospital, and discretionary spending money for Netflix and Spotify and fast food and the ability to choose where we work and we wake up every morning with astronomically more rights than these people have. In God's sight we're all equal. God has done a lot for me and shown kindness and even the fact we're born in America is a blessing but we don't have blessings for ourselves they're only on loan to us until we die and where we go we can't bring them with us so in the meantime in the New Testament we're called to love God and love others and that includes investing our blessings into others. We are born with nothing and we leave with nothing and rich and poor both can be miserly and both can be generous. I'm just passionate that so many people in the West don't realized how blessed they are and how much of an impact they can make. My experiences and knowledge are thanks to my dad who is dying with Alzheimer's at the moment but who spent his life helping others. Hopefully I can be even half the man he was, and hopefully my life makes a difference to a lot of people.
That boy said “My parents are proud of my work”. Those poor people. That must be the only positive they can offer him
This shows the difference between how India treats Muslims and how Pakistan treats hindus
Same as Indians treating Muslims
This is real journalism! Bringing to light actual problems of real people. Kudos to Insider! Indian mainstream news channels should watch this&drown in shame.
This ain’t “modern day slavery”, this is slavery. Period. The same kind of slavery that has existed for thousands of years.
Nope. It indentured servitude
They aren't owned as property, they have debts to pay. You can't have debt if you are owned as property
These are free men and women who work to pay off debt
@@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
Pakistan was the first country I visited out of my own country, and these kilns are indeed scattered all throughout the country. I never knew that these kilns are just a front for modern day slavery. I hope their government do something to abolish such one sided relationship.
Minorities living in a Muslim country, what can you expect ?
It's not everywhere, this is only in remote tribal areas such as the Thar desert.
Just imagine in the acient times how that situation was back then.
If the government was actually competent you could expect theyd do something about it. But unfortunately the politicians are living in their own dramaland.
The government will not bother as these people are hindus
Their "debt" is 560 USD and still cannot pay off it by all their labor ? Then the landlord is criminal and should be put in jail for that scheme
Made me realize how much luxury I truly have.
I’m at a loss.

I'm so beyond upset over this video, it horrifies me that people are forced to live this way in 2023. Never take anything for granted, we are truly privileged in this life. My heart really hurts for these families and hopefully, someday I will be able to help.
There are more people in slavery today then there ever has been.
It broke my heart to see this . I wish I can help people like them when I get older.
holy crap, when the guy asked the kid "how old are you?" the boy said "I dont know"... good lord im tearing up rn
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.
We will take you on live video call when you help them and also you can see their lives changing in matter of days.

So how much did you donated to help these people?
@@luless666 Very stupid question.
You cannot directly send money to these families, as they don't have the internet or even basic cellphone services. Even if you could, the money you would send would either be confiscated, or the owner would take it and give very little back.
It's not about 'donating', its about actually saving these people.
@@luless666 I hate comments like yours.
A person doesn't have to directly donate to be able to give an opinion. Opinions are free.
And the reality is, there is NO way people in other countries can directly donate to these people except Pakistani people themselves or those that live in neighbouring countries like India or Nepal.
If you see any "online donation charities" for situations like these, be careful that it's not a fraud who is scamming you out of your money.
@@sygneg7348 he is the land owner..
"Still the family does not blame him" Is purely outta fear

When you do documentaries like this, can you please post links on ways we can help these people that were in the documentary? I'm sure you revealing the nature of these peoples lives would make countless people watching the videos, including myself, want to find ways to help them.
Agreed!!!
Sadly I don't think there is any reliable way to help them, and any such links would probably just pocket the money to make more such videos and pocket more money, never directly helping. That seems to be how most charities work, sadly. Very little goes to the cause. Which is a shame, because I would definitely give $150 dollars to get an entire family out of slavery. I wish I could go there in person to hand it and see them leave. But there is no way in hell I would simply send money to Pakistan, or someone claiming to be going to Pakistan to do so. 😒
Yes!!! This is heartbreaking. Please also disclose the locations of these mills so we can get them the money to pay off their debts.
@@jimjam5570 You are absolutely correct. Unless you can travel to the exact location and hand it to the person in need, then there is almost always some corruption involved. Transparency is a lacking quality in most charitable organizations these days.
you cant help them
