- 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.

How Millions Are Trapped In Modern-Day Slavery At Brick Kilns In Pakistan | Risky Business
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. My previous housemaid family stay there for a long time and they ran out from there I am very happy for them that they are capable of escaping. I hope so in the future I am capable of helping these people to come out from this type of place. ( In Sha ALLAH)
@@davidf2118 it's not the problem of the country religion it basically the problem that these people don't even know their own rights . They grow up in such type of environment that they are slaves .
@@davidf2118 Sharia law is applied in the whole country but it's true corruption also happen in our country and these places are mostly remote where no one even know their rights. So how they are capable of claiming their rights when they don't even know it? And also if the country name as a Islamic country it's not true that every person in the country follow the shariah law.
@@davidf2118 I don't understand why you start Islam hate speech with me. I say it in our country not everything is followed by Islam. A lot of courrupted leaders are on our top who don't care about laws and rights of others.
@@davidf2118 sorry for my harsh words but it's true in Pakistan recently a lot of things are basically run by corrupted people and they don't care about anyone rights or laws because if the whole system is corrupt how the people going to get their rights . Sorry again for my words I think you are someone who just want to accuse Islam. I don't understand your wording at the first place it my wrong I apologize if it hurt you.
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.

@@vpaul4374There is no such thing as "free" healthcare

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.
There is no 7-year-old in the world who deserves to live under such conditions.
@@adud5475 You mean to live under such conditions. Because children should go to school, not to work. 😣
@@fionafornarina Exactly. (i'll edit it)
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.
@@adud5475 honestly this brick thing looks like fun plus it sounds nice, might have to do that as a hobby someday
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
True
If you know anything about pakistan, you'll know going against him would be a death sentence. The corrupt government wouldn't think twice taking his side.
See these people do you think that they had a medical bill of 560 dollars , you fool cannot even able to abolish jameendari till this day .
India did this just after independence and you want compete .
I did the math, if it has been 20 years for 4 workers to pay off $560 USD….they are only being paid 2 cents USD per day. And since the owner is only keeping half of what they make towards the debt, they are only paying 1 cent per person per day towards the $560. At that rate it would take 40 years for 4 workers to pay off $560 at a rate of 1 cent per day.
"the family doesn't blame him" broke my heart, these people are so pure and are living a life of indentured slavery...
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.
@@mowtow90 and they say ignorant is bliss

@Fatima G i know thats why i said that the phrase ignorant is bliss is dumb knowldge is what gives humans power
The abusers are united though
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.

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 !
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.

I have the utmost respect for Dileep. What a mature young man, he deserves so much more. Justice is needed for every single person here.
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.
This is the kind of journalism that's really important, but sadly often ignored. Thank you, for this story and shining some light what's going on.
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.

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 😅.
Your words are great what what are you doing to support your people?

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.

On top of that they are illiterate.
True. I immigrated from a third world country and many Americans don’t realize a lower class person in the States is middle class to upper class in most countries. A lot of Americans don’t realize how truly blessed we are to be here. 🇺🇸
this is the least emancapatory way of thinking about this.
Having bad living conditions and then watch a video about literal slaves and thinking "they are worseoff so i should be grateful instead of complaining"
one should recognize that they are in a worse condition of the same struggle of the impoverished
Conditions like this were common in the US until the 1940. It's how the system kept operating after outright slavery was banned.
Horrifying and heartbreaking, especially for the children. The people running this operation are some real monsters to think this is an acceptable way to treat your fellow humans.
Exactly. “The *suffering* implicit in slavery is its chief attraction to many Slaveholders.”
Well let's do something! We can help this family, can't we? If everyone pitches in $10? We can do that, can't we?

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.
I did the math, if it has been 20 years for 4 workers to pay off $560 USD….they are only being paid 2 cents USD per day. And since the owner is only keeping half of what they make towards the debt, they are only paying 1 cent per person per day towards the $560. At that rate it would take 40 years for 4 workers to pay off $560 at a rate of 1 cent per day.
Thats so evil its really beyond words.

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.
@@Energia-977 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.

Speaking of bonded labour, and slavery going on in Pakistan. has anyone else heard the sad true story of a Pakistani boy by the name of 'Iqbal Masih?'. In the 1980s, his parents had taken out a loan from a carpet factory, and at the age of 4 he became a bonded labourer, and would work for the next 6 years making carpets/rugs up until the age of 10, he spoke out and campaigned against child labour in Pakistan, and in 1995 he was later shot dead at the age of around 12.
I havent heard of this but will look into it now, this is just really sad and heart breaking the government needs to do something to stop these incidents
Yes didn't they make a movie about him?
If the owner is "lending" them money without any intention of ever getting paid back, it's not a loan, but rather using money as a tool to keep them enslaved. The amount is irrelevant at that point
It’s the pretence that counts.

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.

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.

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.

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
There is no supposed to know or not supposed to know
@@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 .

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.
Why don't you try to pay off their debt if you care so much?
You should go help and free them from this endless slavery 👍
What the f ist wrong with the comments here? Blaming the people trapped in this hell-hole type of situation. Abtv Always blame the victim
Or telling the people showing empathy to singlehandedly help them. wtf 🤣 conditions like these should be illegal and governments should enforce those rights.
@@RussischRap For real, what the hell is wrong with them
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.

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.

@Karl with a K wtf did you mean? This is the worst job you could ever got, you didnt even get paid and you have to work constantly theyre trapped clueless not knowing that they're being a slave, these kiln owners are literally forcing them to work
i doubt they have worse lives than these literal slaves
@karlwithak1835 troll
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
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
same thing as mcdonald’s the food is killing people slaves still work there
Do you know anything about cost of living in different countries? 😆
1.50 Pakistani rupees not dollar. You can convert it to dollar and imagine the plight.
@@soumyaranjan4333 No, its dollars. 1.5 dollars around 280 rupees, still very little
@@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 .
I did the math, if it has been 20 years for 4 workers to pay off $560 USD….they are only being paid 2 cents USD per day. And since the owner is only keeping half of what they make towards the debt, they are only paying 1 cent per person per day towards the $560. At that rate it would take 40 years for 4 workers to pay off $560 at a rate of 1 cent per day
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.

8.3 million of us could donate a dollar
@@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.
Exactly! Can't we buy them out of slavery? Assuming we knew how much was supposedly still owed.

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.
