Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel Peace Laureate 2014
No Civil Society
without Education
Education is a vital building block for every society, argues Nobel Peace Prize
Laureate Kailash Satyarthi. Fighting for the eradication of slavery, child labor
and exploitation has been his main activity since 1980. His deeply-felt convictions
have driven the Indian child rights advocate over the past three decades in his
quest to end these practices. The Nobel Committee recognized his tireless
efforts in 2014.
Education is the key to human liberation, sustainable economic growth, gender and
social justice,
