The elimination of forced labor from the brick kilns sector is crucial not only for improving working conditions but also for ensuring the sustainability of businesses and fostering sustainable economic development. This statement was made by EFP Secretary General Syed Nazar Ali during a capacity-building session organized by the Employers Federation of Pakistan (EFP) with support from the International Labor Organization (ILO) under the BRIDGE Project for members of the Brick Kilns Owners Association Pakistan (BKOAP) in Faisalabad.
The EFP Secretary General expressed gratitude to the numerous members of the BKOAP for their attendance and provided an overview of the session’s objectives. He informed participants that this marked the 8th session in a series of capacity-building initiatives organized by EFP, aimed at empowering employers’ associations within the informal sector. The session specifically aimed to deepen the Brick Kilns Owners Association Pakistan (BKOAP)’s understanding of their role in advocating for members’ interests and addressing the challenges they encounter.
