Iqbal
Masih - This inspiring child helped to expose to the world the
horrors of the workday life of many child laborers around the world.
Their plight, "bonded labor", amounts to modern-day slavery.
Workers are sometimes chained to their carpet looms, beaten, verbally abused
or raped. Sold into bonded labor at 4 years of age for the equivalent of $12, Iqbal managed to escape at age 10 and began to speak out against child slavery and for freedom and schools for all Pakistani children, winning international recognition for his efforts. He was murdered on April 16th, 1995. Won't you help to stop child labor? Support the Bonded Labour Liberation Front (BLLF), and Amnesty International's Efforts against bonded labor.
