center;\">The rights of the disadvantaged<\/h3>\n<p>As per HRCP\u2019s mandate, we focus on legislation, policies and human rights violations affecting the following vulnerable segments of Pakistan\u2019s population: women, the transgender community, children, vulnerable labour groups, senior citizens, persons living with disabilities, internally displaced persons, and refugees.<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s inclusion and participation are key in the promotion and progression of a thriving society, be it in private or public spaces. Women\u2019s work in the workplace and in homes are vital to the country\u2019s social and economic health indicators. HRCP records developments in legislations and policies regarding women\u2019s rights, and documents trends of violence against women, such as domestic violence, kidnapping, murder, burning, acid crimes, harassment, rape, honour killing and cybercrime. The indivisible right every woman has over their reproductive health also plays a major part in evaluating Pakistan\u2019s progress when it comes to family planning and population control.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan has made many strides in their recognition of the rights of the transgender community. However, further legislation and implementation of those policies are needed in order to truly reflect Pakistan\u2019s commitment to the inclusion and participation of the transgender community. HRCP takes note of these legislative developments and also documents trends of violence against the transgender community.<\/p>\n<p>HRCP supports the rights of children which include access to health, access to quality education, protection from harm and exploitative practices such as child labour and pornography. As such, HRCP notes legislative developments pertaining to the rights of children, such as Pakistan\u2019s child protection system and minimum required age for marriage. HRCP also documents abuse against vulnerable segments of children such as street children and child domestic workers.<\/p>\n<p>Labour rights to minimum wages, payment of salaries, work on merit, unionization and occupational health and safety have long been a part of HRCP\u2019s work in Pakistan. We pay especial attention to the rights of the unregulated labour force, brick kiln workers, mine workers, agricultural workers, sanitation workers, fisherfolk communities, and home-based workers along with employees in both the public and private sectors. HRCP stands against any and all forms of modern slavery, including bonded labour and trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>HRCP recognizes the rights of senior citizens for access to quality healthcare, provision of services and payment of pensions. Therefore, HRCP notes legislation and policies affecting the elderly, such as any increases in retirement age. We also recognize the right to a respectable life for persons living with disabilities, and thus document steps taken to increase their inclusion in society and access to quality education and employment. Finally, HRCP recognizes the rights of refugees and internally displaced persons to citizenship, housing, employment and repatriation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6228","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
