Ashoka Fellow Kailash Satyarthi Wins Nobel Peace Prize
Kailash Satyarthi, founder of the Global March Against Child Labor, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014—along with Malala Yousafzai—for his achievements in championing human rights and fighting against child slavery. Thanks to Kailash's efforts, over 78,000 child slaves have been rescued, rehabilitated and enrolled in an education program. The honor is every bit deserved for Kailash for his lifelong dedication to his remarkable work.
