"Indeed we have failed in protecting our children, and the government is least interested in the implementation of child rights-related laws," the Daily Times quoted Khan, as saying.
The SPARC report said that family members, including fathers, stepfathers, uncles and elder siblings, abuse 47 per cent of children.
People either known to the child or their family, like teachers, coaches, physicians, clerics and neighbours, commit 49 per cent of the sexual assaults, the report said.
"Around 75 per cent children who are victims of commercial sexual exploitation belong to the middle-class," said the SPARC report.
The report also highlighted that Pakistan had the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in South Asia, with an estimated 10 million children working to earn a livelihood.
Khan analysing the overall report said statistics proved that Pakistan lagged behind in achieving its Millennium Development Goals, education for all targets and other international commitments.
