Personal Profile About Iqbal Masih
Iqbal Masih, from Pakistan, was a young activist against child labor. He was a member of the Bonded Labor Liberation Front (BLLF). He helped thousands of children escape slavery. Born on 1 January 1983 in Muridke, Pakistan, he grew up in a poor Catholic Christian family and was forced into bonded labor at a very young age. Despite harsh conditions and long hours of work, he escaped at age 10, completed his education quickly, and spoke internationally about child labor.
The Iqbal Masih biography shows that he received the Reebok Human Rights Award in 1994 and was posthumously awarded the Tamgha-e-Shujaat after being tragically assassinated in 1995 at the age of 12. His courage inspired charities and movements like We Charity, the Iqbal Masih Shaheed Children Foundation, and GoodWeave International.
