CHILD TRAFFICKING  AND CHILD ABUSE HAS TO COME TO AN END.

Trafficking in children is a global problem affecting large numbers of children. Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year. There is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.

Working For Gender Equality & Women Empowerment...

UN WOMEN Pakistan provides its technical expertise in gender equality and women empowerment to strengthen the effectiveness, coordination and quality of outputs of the UN mission on gender equality. With its links with the global women’s movement and the re-establishment of a programme office in Pakistan, UN WOMEN is uniquely positioned to support initiatives of the government leading towards a full realization of gender equality commitments in line with the National and International gender equality and human rights commitments such as the Beijing Platform for Action, CEDAW, Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals. UN WOMEN collaborates closely with civil society and women’s organizations both as a) partners in advocacy and lobbying with the government around implementation of gender equality in national laws, policies and strategies b) as partners in the implementation of specific initiatives at local and national level.
