Kailash Satyarthi And Malala Yousafzai Are Nobel Peace Prize Winners for 2014

 

We say a big congratulations to Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai, recipients of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Award. Surely, their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education did not go unnoticed.

Kailash Satyarthi, age 60, has shown great personal courage without compromising Gandhi's traditions, in heading various forms of peaceful protests and demonstrations, focusing on the grave exploitation of children for financial gain. He has also contributed to the development of important international conventions on children’s rights.

Meanwhile, Malala Yousafzai at 17 is the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner. She came to global attention after she was shot in the head by the Taliban two years ago for her efforts to promote education for girls in Pakistan. Since then, after recovering from surgery, she has taken her campaign to the world stage, notably with a speech last year at the United Nations.
We recall that Yousafzai was among the favorites for the prize last year, which instead went to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, for its longstanding efforts to "do away with a whole category of weapons of mass destruction."

The Nobel Committee regards it as an important point for an Indian Hindu and a Pakistani Muslim, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism.  Many other individuals and institutions in the international community have also contributed.  It has been calculated that there are 168 million child labourers around the world today.  In 2000 the figure was 78 million higher.  The world has come closer to the goal of eliminating child labour.

Once again we say a big congratulations. You have truly made your countries proud, we hope you use this avenue to strengthen the relationship between both countries!
