There is a triangular relationship between poverty, child labour and illiteracy who have a cause and consequence relationship. We will have to break this vicious circle.
From Kailash Satyarthi
Denial of childhood and denial of freedom are the biggest sins which humankind has been committing and perpetuating for ages.
I have been very strongly advocating that poverty must not be used as an excuse to continue child labour. It perpetuates poverty. If children are deprived of education, they remain poor.
Let us democratise knowledge. Let us universalise justice. Together, let us globalise compassion!
I am thankful to the Nobel committee for recognising the plight of millions of children who are suffering in this modern age.
I am really honoured, but if the prize had gone to Mahatma Gandhi before me, I would have been more honoured.
