Compassion in Action How India's Social Reformers Transformed Lives

True change begins with compassion in action—a philosophy that Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi has lived by for decades. As a tireless advocate for children’s rights, he has led the fight against child labor, trafficking, and exploitation, rescuing over 100,000 children from slavery and abuse.

Through his organization Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save the Childhood Movement), Satyarthi has turned empathy into real-world impact, ensuring that children have access to freedom, education, and dignity. His work has influenced global policies, leading to stronger child protection laws and inspiring a worldwide movement for child rights.

Satyarthi believes that every child deserves a childhood free from fear and exploitation, and his mission extends beyond just rescue—he empowers societies to take a stand for justice. His initiatives, including the 100 Million Campaign, mobilize youth to fight for a child-friendly world driven by compassionate leadership.
