Under the Dark Sun: a Study on the Right to Inclusion of Marginalized Population of Pakistan Sidra Hareem Zulfiqar

When we talk about rights-based perspective, the excluded and disadvantaged masses are taken into special consideration in juxtaposition with the majority. There is a dire need to raise issues of marginalization and exclusion by addressing the kind of diversity acknowledged in existing mainstream policies and practices, and questioning the need for added policies that extend opportunities of mainstreaming for marginalized masses. Marginalized population entails girls, street children, nomads, child labour, drug-addict children, poverty-struck children, religious and ethnic minority groups, juveniles, beggars, domestic workers, children with disabilities, children suffering from HIV/AIDS, internally displaced children, and disadvantaged children on the basis of geographical location.
