Kailash Satyarthi (born Kailash Sharma; 11 January 1954) is an Indian children's rights activist. He is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and founder of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (lit. Save Childhood Movement), the Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, Global March Against Child Labour, and GoodWeave International.

To date, Kailash Satyarthi and his team at Bachpan Bachao Andolan have liberated more than 87,000[4] children in India from child labour, slavery and trafficking. In 1998, Satyarthi conceived and led the Global March against Child Labour,[5] an 80,000 km-long march across 103 countries to put forth a global demand against child labour. The movement became one of the largest social movements ever on behalf of exploited children. The demands of the marchers, which included children and youth, were reflected in the draft of the ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. The following year, the Convention was unanimously adopted at the ILO Conference in Geneva.

Kailash Satyarthi has been a member of a UNESCO body established with the goal of providing “Education for All” and has been on the board of the Fast Track Initiative (now known as the Global Partnership for Education). Satyarthi serves on the board and committee of several international organisations including the Center for Victims of Torture (USA), the International Labor Rights Fund (USA), and the International Cocoa Foundation.

Satyarthi was among Fortune magazine’s ‘World’s Greatest Leaders’ in 2015[6] and featured in LinkedIn’s Power Profiles List in 2017 & 2018.[7] His work has been recognized through various national and international honours and awards including the Nobel Peace Prize of 2014, which he shared with Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan.

More recently, Satyarthi led a nationwide march, Bharat Yatra,[8] in India covering 19,000 km (12,000 mi) in 35 days, to spread awareness about child sexual abuse and trafficking.

Early life

Kailash Satyarthi receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway on 10 December 2014

Kailash Satyarthi was born as Kailash Sharma, on 11 January 1954, in Vidisha, a small town in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh in a middle class family. Satyarthi was the second child and had an elder brother. His father was a a police constable (he retired subsequently as a Head Constable) and his mother was an uneducated, yet highly idealistic housewife. As per Satyarthi, this exceptionally idealistic and helpful nature of his mother had a big impact on him. He grew in a locality (mohalla) which had Hindus and Muslims living amicably with each other, with a Hindu temple on one side and a Masjid on the other. As a four year old toddler, he first learnt to read Urdu from the maulvi at the neighburing mosque and subsequently learnt Hindi and English in school.[9]

Satyarthi recounts having questioned the discrimination he noticed in society from an early age. On his first day at school, he noticed a cobbler's son outside the school watchign Satyarthi and his friends enterign the school. On enterign the classroom, Satyarthi's first question to his teacher was why teh cobbler's son was not comign to school with them. The teacher asnwered that this was normal, and poorer people's children usually work and do not go to school. Satyarthi was not satisfied with this reply and asked the principal, family members and other elders, all through receivign the same "this is normal" response. Dissatisfied with their answers, Satyarthi msutered courage and asked teh cobbler ten days later why he did not admit his child in school. The cobbler answer resignedly that he and his children were born to work and not to go to schools. This made a big impact on Satyarthi, as he noticed the deep injustice and discrimination inbuilt in society.[10]

Satyarthi further recounts that he noticed that his and his friends school books usually went waste after they passed their exams. One April, on the day results were announced, he and a friend used the money they had been given to buy sweets, to instead rent a four wheeled handcart. The two of them went to nearby localities, askign children and students to donate their books, to be used by poorer children whose parents coudl not afford them. This led to him setting up a small library and was his first social activity.[11]

Satyarthi describes this as the first time he questioned why some children are born to work “at the cost of their childhood and freedom and education and dreams”[12] due to the circumstances of their birth.

He attended Government Boys Higher Secondary School in Vidhisha, and completed his degree in electrical engineering[13] at Samrat Ashok Technological Institute, Vidisha[1][14][2] and a post-graduate degree in high-voltage engineering. He then joined a college in Bhopal as a lecturer for a few years.[15]

Change of name

In an interview with Sameena at Rajya Sabha TV, Satyarthi recounts havign been influenced in his childhood and youth by Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Ashfaqullah Khan and Chandra Shekhar Azad. In 1969, the entire nation was celebrating Gandhi's birth centenary and stories about Gandhi were widely popularised. He decided to join politics and walk on the foot steps of Gandhi. He noticed that his family members and neighbours, all practised untouchability. Food would be thrown from far while giving it to maids and people who cleaned houses, roads and toilets. This angered him and he and a few of his friends decided to celebrate Gandhi's birth centenary in a different way. They invited politicians to come and eat food prepared by and served by untouchables (often colloquilly called achoot or dalits in India). They visited houses of people belonging to lower castes, requesting them to come and cook for this function. They were reluctant as peopel in their village never even touched them.[16]

The function was scheduled for 7 o clock, but when no one turned up right upto 8:30, 15 year old Kailash and his friends went to visit the politicians on their bicycles to again invite them, thinkign that there might have been some misunderstandign in teh timing. Each politician and his family gave excuses and some said they woudl come later. kailash and his friends returned, but no one came right upto 10:30. These few hours made them realise the double standardsand ptetentions that were prevalent in their society and were an eye opener. Since a few untouchables had prepared food, he and his friends finally ate food after 10:30 at night, simmering in their own ager and shame, unable to speak to each other or to the women from lower castes who were serving them.

When he returned home, he found all people from higher castes including Brahmins gathered there at midnight, shouting at him for what he had done. Kailash lashed back at them, but they remained unconvinced. Finally they mutually agreed that Kailash's behaviour had nothign to do with his family, he was spoiled and misled and he would now have to dip himself at Rishikesh in the Ganges, cut his hair, return to Vidisha and feed 101 brahmins, washign their feet with water and drinkign it. He did not agree to this, hence everyone assembled decided to evict him from their caste. Kailash sat awake all night, angrily contemplatign the events that had taken place. Finally he decided that he himself would leave his caste, thus preventing any such recourse from the caste members. He gradually began to think of an alternative name, and a few years later, decided to adopt the surname "Satyarthi", forever forsakign his birth surname which denoted his caste. Kaliash laughingly recounts that most people in the public were aware of this - this only got highlighted after no one knew of this - it was only after he won the Nobel Prize that people began to research him and found out about this fact.

Work

In 1980, Kailash Sathyarthi gave up his career as an electrical engineer and became secretary general for the Bonded Labor Liberation Front; he also founded the Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save Childhood Movement) that year.[17][18] He conceived and led the Global March Against Child Labor[19] and its international advocacy body, the International Center on Child Labor and Education (ICCLE),[20] which are worldwide coalitions of NGOs, teachers and trades unionists.[21][22] He has also served as the President of the Global Campaign for Education, from its inception in 1999 to 2011, having been one of its four founders alongside ActionAid, Oxfam and Education International.[23]

In addition, he established GoodWeave International (formerly known as Rugmark) as the first voluntary labelling, monitoring and certification system of rugs manufactured without the use of child-labour in South Asia.[24][25][26] This latter organisation operated a campaign in Europe and the United States in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the intent of raising consumer awareness of the issues relating to the accountability of global corporations with regard to socially responsible consumerism and trade.[27] Satyarthi has highlighted child labor as a human rights issue as well as a welfare matter and charitable cause. He has argued that it perpetuates poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, population growth, and other social problems,[28] and his claims have been supported by several studies.[29][30] He has also had a role in linking the movement against child labour with efforts for achieving "Education for All".[31] He has been a member of a UNESCO body established to examine this and has been on the board of the Fast Track Initiative (now known as the Global Partnership for Education).[32] Satyarthi serves on the board and committee of several international organisations including the Center for Victims of Torture (USA), the International Labor Rights Fund (USA), and the International Cocoa Foundation. He is now reportedly working on bringing child labour and slavery into the post-2015 development agenda for the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals.[33]

Satyarthi, along with Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 "for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education".[34] Satyarthi is the fifth Nobel Prize laureate for India and the second Indian laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize after Mother Teresa in 1979.

Kailash Satyarthi supported "Save the Girl Child" initiative by Sunita Dube, Chairperson of MedScape India and discussed the possible actions with Yogesh Dube, Child Rights Commission member for betterment of women and children, specifically their health and well being.[35]

Mr. Satyarthi’s sustained efforts to end child slavery, trafficking, forced labour and violence received international support when he succeeded in getting child protection and welfare-related clauses included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations back in September 2015.

Mr. Satyarthi is the Founder of Parliamentarians without Borders - a Movement that unites legislators across the globe in an endeavour to end violence against children. He also addressed the General Assembly of Inter Parliamentary Union (the global body constituting all parliaments) soliciting support of law makers for child friendly policies.

The first ever moral platform - Laureates and Leaders which happens to be strongest podium for the cause of children across the globe has been engineered by Mr. Kailash Satyarthi.

His unrelenting efforts to synchronize the Indian Child Labour Act with The Right to Education Act and other International Conventions and Treaties that India is signatory to, led to the promulgation of the New Child Labour Law in 2016. On several occasions Bachpan Bachao Andolan under the auspices of Mr. Kailash Satyarthi has been able to secure landmark judgments from various High Courts and Supreme Court of India related to Missing Children; Definition of Trafficking; Establishment of Anti Human Trafficking Units; Registration and Regulation of Placement Agencies; Recovery of Back Wages & Ensuring compensation for survivors of modern slavery among others.

Mr. Kailash Satyarthi envisions a world where the Youth realizes its truest potential as the agent of positive social transformation. It is for this reason he launched the 100 Million for 100 Million Campaign in December 2016. This campaign is a global intervention to mobilize 100 million youth for shaping a better future for 100 million not so privileged children.

In 2017, raising a clarion call against child sexual abuse, Mr. Satyarthi led the 12,000 Km Bharat Yatra (from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari) taking along the child abuse survivors; civil society organizations; politicians across party lines; bureaucrats; celebrities and faith leaders to put the national spotlight on this pressing issue.

To achieve his vision of a world free of violence against children – where all children are free, safe, healthy and educated, he founded Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation. The Foundation’s raison d'être is to advocate for creation and implementation of child-friendly policies ensuring holistic development and empowerment of children across the globe.


Organisations

  • Bachpan Bachao Andolan was founded by Kailash Satyarthi in 1980[36] as a mass movement to create a child friendly society where all children are free from exclusion and exploitation and receive free education. The movement has engaged itself in identifying, liberating, rehabilitating and educating children in servitude through direct intervention, community participation, partnerships and coalitions, promoting ethics in trade, unionizing workers, running campaigns on issues such as education, trafficking, forced labour, ethical trade, and by building child friendly villages.[37]
  • Mr. Kailash Satyarthi is renowned for inclusion of child exploitation to global socio-political agenda. In 1998 he conceived and led one of the largest civil society movements Global March against Child [5] Labour traversing across 103 countries covering 80,000 km with a demand for an International Law on Worst Forms of Child Labour. This eventually led to the adoption of ILO Convention No. 182 on worst forms of child labour which was formally acclaimed in 1999 and went on to become the fastest ratified convention in the history of ILO.
  • Satyarthi established GoodWeave International (formerly known as Rugmark) a network of non-profit organizations dedicated to ending illegal child labour in the rug making industry which provided the first voluntary labelling, monitoring and certification system of rugs manufactured without the use of child labour in South Asia. This latter organisation operated a campaign in Europe and the United States in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the intent of raising consumer awareness of the issues relating to the accountability of global corporations with regard to socially responsible consumerism and trade. Rugmark International re-branded the certification program and introduced the GoodWeave label in 2009. The organization was also re-branded to GoodWeave International. Today the international network comprises producing country offices in India, Nepal and Afghanistan; and consumer country programs in the US, UK, and Germany.
  • The Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, established in 2004 by Satyarthi to achieve a child friendly world, operates with an integrated approach towards the problems of the children. Spreading awareness, policy advocacy and capacity building are the foundation blocks of the KSCF approach. A diverse team of experts with keen interest in issues of child rights, internal expertise and strong stakeholder collaboration are the strengths and drivers of the organisation. The Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation (KSCF) is the global umbrella for KSCF India and KSCF, US. A crucial ingredient of the KSCF philosophy is the participation of people, in bringing about the change they deserve. The involvement of people is achieved through our Campaigns and Programmes, where people are made aware about the issues faced by the society and are endowed with solutions that work efficiently. The KSCF Institute looks after the Policy Building and Strengthening process, with its team of experts adept at designing solutions to the problems of people.[38]
  • Satyarthi formed the Global Campaign for Education, and was made the organisation’s president on its inception in 1999.[39] Global Campaign for Education is an international coalition of non-governmental organizations, working to promote children's and adult education through research and advocacy. It was formed in 1999 as a partnership between NGOs that were separately active in the area, including ActionAid, Oxfam, Education International, Global March Against Child Labour and national organizations in Bangladesh, Brazil and South Africa.[40]

Bharat Yatra

The Bharat Yatra, was launched by KSCF to spread awareness about child trafficking and sexual abuse. Launched in Kanyakumari on September 11, 2017 by Kailash Satyarthi, this campaign marched through seven routes covering 22 Indian states and Union Territories, and over 12,000 km. The campaign was aimed at starting a social dialogue about child sexual abuse and child trafficking, hitherto taboo issues in India, in order to protect children vulnerable within their homes, communities, schools.The campaign collaborated with 5,000 civil society organisations, more than 60 Indian faith leaders, 500 Indian political leaders, 600 local, state and national bodies of the Indian government, 300 members of the Indian judiciary, and 25,000 educational institutions across India.

Bharat Yatra saw the participation of more than 1,200,000 marchers over 35 days.[41]

Personal life

He lives in New Delhi, India. His family includes his wife, a son, daughter-in-law, a grandson, daughter and a son-in-law.[42] He is an excellent cook.[43]

Awards and honours

Satyarthi has been the subject of a number of documentaries, television series, talk shows, advocacy and awareness films.[44] In September 2017 India Times listed Satyarthi as one of the 11 Human Rights Activists Whose Life Mission Is To Provide Others With A Dignified Life[45] Satyarthi has been awarded the following national and international honours:

Reception in India

Satyarthi was interviewed by a number of media channels in India after the Nobel Peace prize was announced. This again brought to the forefront the discussion of illegalization of child labor. Children in India had already reduced buying fire crackers for Diwali after a sustained movement had highlighted the high use of child labour in fireworks factories of Sivakasi. The India legal system had only recently made it illegal to employ any child below the age of 14.[64]

Livemint, a financial newspaper from India was of the opinion that it would make child labour go underground, which could cause reduced wages.[65]

Meet up for Childhood Freedom at Lincoln Memorial

On 16 June 2015, Satyarthi gave a clarion call to leaders and countries towards global elimination of child labour and slavery. Satyarthi was joined by a large number of child rights groups and organisations at the Lincoln Memorial where he called for achieving freedom for the world's children from slavery, labour, abuse, trafficking and illiteracy.[66]
