Kailash Satyarthi
Noble Prize Winner | Children's Rights Activist
Who am I
Kailash Satyarthi is an Indian 'Children's rights' activist.
He is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and founder of Bachpan
Bachao Andolan, Global March Against Child Labour, Global Campaign
for Education, Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation, and Rugmark now known
as GoodWeave International.
To date, Kailash Satyarthi and his team at Bachpan Bachao
Andolan have liberated more than 88,000 children in India from child
labour, slavery and trafficking. In 1998, Satyarthi conceived and led the
Global March against Child Labour, an 80,000 km-long march across 103
countries to put forth a global demand against worst forms of child labour.
This became one of the largest social movements ever on behalf of exploited
children. The demands of the marchers, which included children and youth
(particularly the survivors of trafficking for forced labour, exploitation,
sexual abuse, illegal organ transplants, armed conflict etc.) were reflected in
the draft of the ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child
Labour. The following year, the Convention was unanimously adopted at the ILO
Conference in Geneva.
Kailash Satyarthi has been a member of a UNESCO body
established with the goal of providing "Education for All" and has
been on the board of the Fast Track Initiative (now known as the Global
Partnership for Education). Satyarthi has also served on the board and
committee of several international organisations including the Center for
Victims of Torture (USA), the International Labour Rights Fund (USA),
and the Cocoa Initiative.
Satyarthi was among Fortune magazine's
"World's Greatest Leaders" in 2015 and featured in LinkedIn's
Power Profiles List in 2017 and 2018. His work has been recognized through
various national and international honours and awards including the Nobel
Peace Prize of 2014, which he shared with Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan.
More recently, Satyarthi led a nationwide march, Bharat
Yatra, in India covering 19,000 km (12,000 mi) in 35 days, in demand
for strong legislation against child rape, child sexual abuse and
trafficking.
