In urban spheres of the province Balochistan the problems are worse because of massive influx of urban population having zero awareness of their due rights. The epidemic of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) is mounting day by day because of two major silent but devastating facts; 1) Lack of awareness/sensitization among children, parents, media, government and civil society stakeholder. Lack of technical skills to meet financial needs, Unfriendly environment with corporal punishment in schools, many children drops and travel on streets and gradually become part of the commercial sex, the involvement of these children in commercial sexual exploitation is results of lack of awareness/sensitization and also include other factors such inattentiveness of parents, silence from media  and other stakeholders to highlight CSEC issue and play their due role majority of children belonging to either rural regions or refugees are compelled and highly expected to contribute significantly to raise the income level of family.
