HRCP Urges Rs75,000 Minimum Wage Amid Inflation, Worker Rights Crisis in Pakistan

Описание: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has called for raising the minimum wage to Rs75,000, citing growing inflation and economic hardships faced by workers. At a recent event in Hyderabad, activists criticized the Sindh government’s Rs40,000 minimum wage for 2025–26 as inadequate for a family’s basic needs. Speakers also highlighted weak labour law enforcement, rising contract labour, and threats to unionization—especially for women. HRCP demanded urgent reforms to protect Pakistan’s working class and ensure fair wages and dignified livelihoods.
