I refuse to accept that the shackles of slavery can ever be stronger than the quest for freedom.
Kailash SatyarthiChildhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child's eye - it is very beautiful.
Kailash SatyarthiI refuse to accept that the world is so poor, when just one week of global spending on armies is enough to bring all of our children into classrooms.
Kailash SatyarthiWe adults, our policies, our ways of governance, are responsible for poverty, not the children.
Kailash SatyarthiWe talk of globalization, and how much money is needed for the education of children in the world, their liberation and rehabilitation just $9 billion which is four days of military expense. Just four days. Nine billion dollars is nothing. But what Americans spent on ice cream just 20 percent of this. One fifth of what you spend on ice creams could bring the children out of the clutches of their masters and put them to school.
