answer text <p>The National Commission on Human Rights' report highlights the challenges faced by Pakistani minorities in accessing government roles and the poor conditions they often face as low-paid sanitation workers. The UK regularly raises concerns regarding the protection of minorities at a senior level with the Government of Pakistan. Our programme funding seeks to address the underlying causes.

We will continue to urge the Government of Pakistan to guarantee the rights of all people, particularly the most vulnerable.</p> more like this
