Hari Welfare Association (HWA) Sindh in a press conference express its deep concerns for the non-implementation of the Sindh Bonded Labour System Abolition Act (SBLSAA) of 2015 especially in the pandemic of covid 19 and lock down situation on Wednesday.
While speaking to the media persons, HWA’s president, Akram Ali Khaskheli grieved that lack of economic activities in rural and semi urban areas of Sindh have pushed workers to become slaves and bonded labourers. He said that in the given conditions, workers and peasants are going back to landlords to work on landlords’ conditions.
The president said that many worker and peasant families migrate to different districts for livelihoods and often returned to their homes with somehow meager resources but the current conditions have brought an end to their seasonal migratory movement for livelihoods, and have also pushed them to work for the landlords on nominal wages and shares.
