Book Description
Kailash Satyarthi is a name synonymous with the fight against child labor. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Satyarthi has dedicated his life to rescuing children from exploitation and advocating for their right to education. His unwavering commitment to this cause has made him an inspiration to millions around the world. Satyarthi's journey began in the small town of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, India, where he witnessed first-hand the plight of children forced into hazardous labor. Deeply moved by their suffering, he resolved to make a difference in their lives. In 1980, at the age of 26, Satyarthi quit his job as an electrical engineer to dedicate himself full-time to the cause of child liberation. He founded Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), which translates to "Save Childhood Movement" in English. BBA quickly became a grassroots movement, organizing raids on child labor hotspots and rescuing children from exploitation. Satyarthi's work was not without its challenges. He faced opposition from powerful vested interests who profited from child labor. He was threatened, harassed, and even imprisoned. But Satyarthi never wavered in his resolve. He continued to fight for the children, using his voice and his actions to raise awareness and demand change. Satyarthi's efforts have had a profound impact on the lives of millions of children. He has rescued over 86,000 children from child labor and helped to rehabilitate and reintegrate them into society. He has also played a key role in advocating for stronger child labor laws and policies around the world. Over the past four decades, Satyarthi has tirelessly worked to dismantle the deep-rooted systems that perpetuate child labor. He has led numerous rescue operations, liberating countless children from exploitative workplaces, such as stone quarries, carpet factories, and brothels. He has also played a pivotal role in formulating and implementing child labor laws in India and around the world. Satyarthi's activism has extended beyond national borders, inspiring global movements against child labor. In 1998, he spearheaded the Global March Against Child Labor, a groundbreaking initiative that mobilized support from over 100 countries. He has also served as the co-chair of the Global Campaign for Education, advocating for the right of every child to quality education. In 2014, Satyarthi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Malala Yousafzai, for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. This prestigious award recognized Satyarthi's lifelong dedication to the cause of child liberation and his unwavering commitment to making the world a better place for children. Satyarthi's story is an inspiration to us all. It teaches us that even in the face of adversity, we can make a difference in the world. His unwavering commitment to the cause of children is a reminder that we all have a responsibility to stand up for the rights of others, especially the most vulnerable among us. Satyarthi's story is a testament to the power of individual action and the transformative potential of activism. His unwavering dedication to fighting child labor and promoting children's rights has inspired millions around the world and has made a profound impact on the lives of countless children. In the following chapters, we will delve deeper into Satyarthi's life, his work, and his impact on the world. We will explore his journey from an electrical engineer to a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and we will learn about the challenges he faced and the triumphs he achieved.

The Most Good You Can Do
Author: Peter Singer
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300182414
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
An argument for putting sentiment aside and maximizing the practical impact of our donated dollars: “Powerful, provocative” (Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times). Peter Singer’s books and ideas have been disturbing our complacency ever since the appearance of Animal Liberation. Now he directs our attention to a challenging new movement in which his own ideas have played a crucial role: effective altruism. Effective altruism is built upon the simple but profoundly unsettling idea that living a fully ethical life involves doing the “most good you can do.” Such a life requires a rigorously unsentimental view of charitable giving: to be a worthy recipient of our support, an organization must be able to demonstrate that it will do more good with our money or our time than other options open to us. Singer introduces us to an array of remarkable people who are restructuring their lives in accordance with these ideas, and shows how, paradoxically, living altruistically often leads to greater personal fulfillment than living for oneself. Doing the Most Good develops the challenges Singer has made, in the New York Times and Washington Post, to those who donate to the arts, and to charities focused on helping our fellow citizens, rather than those for whom we can do the most good. Effective altruists are extending our knowledge of the possibilities of living less selfishly, and of allowing reason, rather than emotion, to determine how we live. Doing the Most Good offers new hope for our ability to tackle the world’s most pressing problems.
