As pollution levels rise and schools in Iran frequently close, vulnerable children are increasingly being forced into exploitative labor. The Iranian regime’s mismanagement has led to widespread educational disruption, with many impoverished families compelled to pull their children from classrooms to work. From 2021 to 2025, Iran has effectively lost an academic year due to these closures, resulting in a surge of school dropouts, particularly among low-income families. The situation reflects a systemic crisis of poverty and neglect, where child labor becomes a necessity rather than a choice. Without urgent government intervention, an entire generation risks being lost to exploitation and poverty.

Sistan and Baluchestan Province in Iran faces severe challenges due to decades of systemic discrimination and economic neglect by the regime. The average life expectancy is just 50 years, significantly lower than the national average, attributed to a collapsing healthcare system and chronic malnutrition. With 63% of its population under 30, high unemployment drives youth into dangerous jobs. A staggering 50,000 to 100,000 residents are stateless, hindering their access to education and healthcare. The Iranian government’s focus on foreign conflicts over local welfare exacerbates poverty and despair, calling for significant reforms to address these deep-rooted issues.
