“World's children cannot wait any longer. While international community...” — Kailash Satyarthi Quote

“World's children cannot wait any longer. While international community debates and issues recommendations, statements and fine speeches, world's children - marginalised, socially excluded, poor and vulnerable - continue to suffer.”

“Today, in every wave of every ocean, I see our children playing and dancing. Today, in every plant, tree, and mountain, I see our children growing in freedom.”

“If you keep on buying things made by child slaves in such conditions, you are equally responsible for the perpetration of slavery.”

“Debates require a lot of hard work and preparation. If you try to wing it, it shows.”

“It's interesting when you read the debates in parliaments between MPs about whether they should give women a vote. It's a lot of fear; it is fear of change. It's fear if women get to vote, family structures will break down. Women will stop having children. Women won't vote for war.”

“I don't like the whole 'slander, slander' conversation that most political debates are these days. So I tend to keep my political standpoint not to myself, but just relatively private.”
