Established in 1980 by Ansar Burney, Advocate in the Pakistani port city of Karachi; the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust was the first organization to introduce true human rights in Pakistan.

With a mission to work as a non-political, non-governmental and non-profitable organization, the trust started its fight against all forms of torture, cruel inhuman or degrading treatment, child abuse, cruelty to women and other more subtle forms of violent repression or human and civil rights violations.

Once established, the trust also took on the role of providing all forms of aid to disaster hit areas and regions. More

Fighting against all forms of torture

In the last 24 years ABWTI has so far been able to get release of more than 600,000 (Six hundred thousand) innocent prisoners who were illegally imprisoned in Pakistan as well as in other Countries. Some of them were released after 50 to 55 years of illegal confinement and some of them were even born in prisons and mental asylums and released after 35 to 40 long years only because of the hectic efforts of this organisation and Chairman Ansar Burney, Advocate.

The Trust has also for the past 24 years provided aid (Food, Water, Medicine, etc) to all major disaster hit areas in Pakistan and Abroad. More

    Camel Jockeys in the Middle East

It is easier for the oil rich gulf countries to continue, as they have done for hundreds of years, to buy children from the poorer countries across across the gulf in the Indian subcontinent and to force them to work as camel jockeys.

The children go outside to play and never return

They children are kidnapped by local gangs who will deal in any commodity that makes money. The children will then be taken by adults who when questioned may claim to be the children's parents. They will then travel, perhaps along the ancient slave routes to Karachi, and across the Gulf.

Winning at any cost


When the camel belong to a sheikh, a trainer will always choose to break the rules if it gives the camel a better chance of winning. The trainer receives a small prize if his camel wins. The camel jockey receives nothing. More
