Maybe focus on the doable rather than on grand structural reforms. Pakistan could be pressured to improve legal protections for labourers. There could be land redistribution or a redistributive welfare state. All of these have happened in other developing countries, without world revolution or armed struggle.

There were some show trials of kiln owners.

Believe me or not, a lot of bonded labourers are so down on the bottom that they don't even know that they can sue their usurers in the court.
