Have you come across stories about workers in Pakistan who are stuck in debt for years — sometimes their entire lives?

A lot of them work in brick kilns, and the debt doesn’t just go away. It actually grows over time, and when someone dies, it can pass down to their kids. So people are basically born into it.

What will shock you is that some workers end up selling their kidneys just to try and pay it off. Not because they want to, but because they feel like there’s no other way out.

And even then… it doesn’t really fix anything. The debt often stays.

Cases of organ trafficking or extreme exploitation are often looked at as something rare or hidden. But this seems way more normalized in certain systems.

Organ trafficking is a crime and governments must step up to tighten their laws to protect the vulnerable workers.
