Congratulations to Malala and Kailash Satyarthi Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2014


 Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International said:

 “The Nobel Prize Committee has recognized the fundamental importance of child rights for the future of our world. The choice of winners shows that this is an issue that matters to us all, no matter what our age, gender, country or religion.“Malala sets a powerful example that has inspired people all over the world, and which has been deservedly recognized by the Nobel Committee. The courage she has shown in the face of such adversity is a true inspiration.  Her actions are a symbol of what it means to stand up for your rights - with a simple demand to fulfil the basic human right to education.“Kailash Satyarthi has dedicated his life to helping the millions of children in India who are forced into slavery and work in torrid conditions. His award is an acknowledgement of the tireless, decades-long campaigning by civil society activists on child trafficking and child labour in India.
