to be sold to a brothel,
लड़कियों को आज़ाद करने के लिए,
of raid and rescue,
that it is not one or 10 or 20,
ये बताते हुए के १ या १० या २० नहीं
to physically liberate 83,000 child slaves
कुल ८३००० बल शर्म से मुक्त करवाया है
back to their families and mothers.
और उनकी माँ के पास पहुंचायें है

जो मैंने कोशिश करी
be vanished, can never be destroyed.
न खत्म कर सकते है
be translated and harnessed
a more just and equitable world?
की संरचना क्यों नहीं करे ?
for a few seconds:
the narrow shells of egos,
hatred, violence, revenge, destruction.
विनाश,नफरत में बदलेगा
into a great power.
by using our inherent compassion
सकते है
compassion to make this world better.
बेहतर बना सकते है
transformed into it.
again, as a Nobel Laureate,
एक नोबल पुरुस्कार विजेता के तौर पर
into idea and action.
और बदलाव में बदल लेगा।
you've been an inspiration to others.
प्रेरणा दे रहे है
and that is the truth,
that he will ever come back to his mother,
वापिस मिलने की साड़ी उमीदें खो दी है
can ever come back and sit in her lap,
उमीदें खो दी हो
rolls down on her cheek,
आँखों से गिरता है
this is my biggest inspiration.
और ये मेरी सबसे बड़ी प्रेरणा होती है।
as I said before, but thousands of times,
बल्कि जैसा मैंने बताया, हज़ारों बार
in the faces of those children
इन बच्चो के चेहरे में
बड़े स्त्रोत है
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kailash Satyarthi - Children’s rights activist2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi is a tireless activist fighting to protect the rights of voiceless children everywhere.
Why you should listen
Kailash’s work has involved organizing almost weekly raid, rescue and recovery missions on workplaces that employ and enslave children. Since 2001, Satyarthi’s has risked his own life to rescue these children and has convinced families in more than 300 Indian villages to avoid sending their children to work, and instead putting them in school.
Satyarthi’s has also managed to grab and retain the world’s attention on the problem. He organized the Global March Against Child Labor in the 1990s to raise awareness and free millions of children shackled in various forms of modern slavery. His activism was also instrumental in the adoption of Convention No. 182 by the International Labour Organization, a statue that's become a guideline for many governments on child labor.
In 2014, he and Malala Yousafzai were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for “their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.”
