Synopsis:
"Stolen Lives" is a documentary made about child labor and beggary in Pakistan, following the lives of children under the legal working age (14) working on the streets to sell flowers and tissue rolls, at auto workshops and restaurants, or cleaning cars, etc. This practice is considered exploitative by many countries and international organizations. Overworked and with extensive overtime, these young children work due to psychologically, socially and materialistic pressure. They are ready to labor for very low pay, due to many hindrances and difficulties surrounding the desperate conditions that they face in life. Having been forced to kill their aspirations and dreams, these many children are pressed to earn a living for themselves and for their families. Many poor parents see children as an economic investment so as to be supplied with additional labor power. The findings are that 3.8 out of 40 million children aged five to 14 years are working in Pakistan. Fifty percent of these economically active children are between the ages of five and nine years old. This practice is increasing day by day.
