  • Former bonded laborers work in the Freed Hari Camp near a stone quarry in Sikanderabad Kotri, Sindh Province, Pakistan. A few years ago, police conducted missions to free bonded and forced laborers—there are an estimated 750,000 to 1.5 million in the Sindh and Punjab provinces—and many of them settled here. Men and woman in the camp earn a living making stone, which brings in 10 euros per truckload. Though the official Human Rights Commission of Pakistan created the camp, it is often under attack from government forces who want the land.
