Mr. Kailash Satyarthi

Mr Kailash Satyarthi has been a tireless advocate of children’s rights globally for more than four decades.  Through his organization, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, he has directly rescued more than 100,000 children from child labour, slavery, trafficking and other forms of exploitation. The Global March Against Child Labor, which he led, galvanized support in 103 countries resulting in the adoption of ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labor, which in 2020, became the only universally ratified convention in the history of the ILO.
