My dear children of the world ... Your Majesties, 
Your Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, distinguished 
members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, dear 
brother Tom Harkin, brothers and sisters, and my 
dear daughter Malala. 
From this podium of peace and humanity, I am 
deeply honoured to recite a mantra from the ancient 
texts of wisdom, Vedas. This mantra carries a prayer, 
an aspiration and a resolve that has the potential to 
liberate humanity from all man-made crises. 
Let’s walk together. In the pursuit of global 
progress, not a single person should be left out or 
left behind in any corner of the world, from East to 
West, from South to North.
Let’s speak together, let our minds come together! 
Learning from the experiences of our ancestors, let 
us together create knowledge for all that benefits all. 
I bow to my late parents, to my motherland 
India, and to the mother earth. 
With a warm heart I recall how thousands of 
times, I have been liberated, each time I have freed 
a child from slavery. In the first smile of freedom 
on their beautiful faces, I see the Gods smiling. 
I give the biggest credit of this honour to my 
movement’s Kaalu Kumar, Dhoom Das and Adarsh 
Kishore from India and Iqbal Masih from Pakistan 
who made the supreme sacrifice for protecting the

He has been honoured with many awards including 
‘Nobel Peace Prize’ of 2014. He had addressed this

freedom and dignity of children. I humbly accept 
this award on behalf of all such martyrs, my fellow 
activists across the world and my countrymen. 
My journey from the great land of Lord Buddha, 
Guru Nanak and Mahatma Gandhi; India to Norway 
is a connect between the two centres of global peace 
and brotherhood, ancient and modern.
Friends, the Nobel Committee has generously 
invited me to present a “lecture.” Respectfully, I am 
unable to do that. Because, I am representing here 
- the sound of silence. The cry of innocence. And, 
the face of invisibility. I represent millions of those 
children who are left behind and that’s why I have 
kept an empty chair here as a reminder.
 I have come here only to share the voices and 
dreams of our children - because they are all our 
children - (gesture to everyone in the audience). I 
have looked into their frightened and exhausted eyes. 
I have held their injured bodies and felt their broken 
spirits.
Twenty years ago, in the foothills of the 
Himalayas, I met a small, skinny child labourer. He 
asked me: “Is the world so poor that it cannot give 
me a toy and a book, instead of forcing me to take 
a gun or a tool?”
I met with a Sudanese child-soldier. He was 
kidnapped by an extremist militia. As his first training 
lesson, he was forced to kill his friends and family. 
He asked me: “What is my fault?”
Friends, all the great religions teach us to care 
for our children. Jesus said: “Let the children come 
to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God 
belongs to them.” The Holy Quran says: “Kill not 
your children because of poverty.”
Friends! There is no greater violence than to deny 
the dreams of our children. Therefore ... I refuse to 
accept that all the temples and mosques and churches 
and prayer houses have no place for the dreams of 
our children.
I refuse to accept that the world is so poor, when

I have the privilege of working with many
courageous people who have the same aim. We have 
never given up against any threat or attack and we 
never will.
We have made progress in the last couple of 
decades. We have reduced the number of out-of-
school children by half. We have reduced the number 
of child labourers by a third. We have reduced child 
mortality and malnutrition, and we have prevented 
millions of child deaths.
But, let us make no mistake, great challenges 
still remain.
Friends! The biggest challenge or biggest crisis 
knocking on the doors of humankind is fear and 
intolerance.
We have utterly failed our children in imparting 
an education. An education that gives the meaning 
and objective of life. An education that gives a sense 
of global citizenship among the youth.
I am afraid that the day is not very far away 
when the cumulative result of this failure, will 
culminate in an unprecedented violence, and that 
will be suicidal for humankind.

You may ask that- what can one person do? I 
would recall a story of my childhood: A heavy fire 
had broken out in the forest. All the animals were 
running away, including lion, the king of the forest. 
Suddenly, then he saw a tiny bird rushing towards 
the fire. He asked the bird, “What are you doing?” 
To the lion’s surprise, the bird replied “I am going 
to extinguish the fire.” The lion laughed and said, 
“How can you do it keeping just one drop of water, 
in your beak?” The bird was adamant, and she said, 
“I am doing my bit.”
Eighteen years ago, millions of individuals 
marched across the globe. And demanded a new 
international law for the abolition of worst form of 
child labour, and it has happened, we did it, millions 
of individuals did it.

us from one corner to another corner of the globe. 
But there is one serious disconnect and there is a lack 
of compassion. Let us inculcate and transform these 
individuals’ compassion into a global compassion.  
Let us globalise compassion.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “If we are to teach real 
peace in this world... we shall have to begin with the 
children.” I humbly add, let us unite the world through 
the compassion for our children.
I ask - Whose children are they who stitch 
footballs, yet never played with one? 
Whose children are they who harvest cocoa, yet 
have never tasted chocolate?
Whose children are they who are dying of Ebola? 
Whose children are they who are kidnapped and 
held hostage?
They are all our children.
I remember an eight-year-old girl we rescued 
from intergenerational forced labour from stone 
quarries. When she was sitting in my car right after 
her rescue, she asked me: “Why did you not come 
earlier?” 
Her angry question still shakes me – and has the 
power to shake the whole world. Her question is for 
all of us. What are we doing? What are we waiting 
for? How many girls will we allow to go without 
rescue?
Children are questioning our inaction and watching 
our actions.
We need collective actions with a sense of 
urgency.
Every single minute matters, every single child 
matters, every single childhood matters.
Therefore, I challenge the passivity and pessimism 
surrounding our children. I challenge this culture of 
silence and this culture of passivity, this culture of 
neutrality.
