Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child's eye - it is very beautiful.

First of all, everyone must acknowledge and feel that child slavery still exists in the world, in its ugliest face and form. And this is an evil, which is crime against humanity, which is intolerable, which is unacceptable and which must go. That sense of recognition must be developed first of all. And secondly there is a need of higher amounts of political will. There is a need of higher amount of corporate engagement, and the engagement of the public towards it. So, everybody has a responsibility to save and protect the children on this planet.

Child labor perpetuates poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, population growth and other social problems.

There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children.

I think of it all as a test. This is a moral examination that one has to pass... to stand up against such social evils.

I refuse to accept that the shackles of slavery can ever be stronger than the quest for freedom.

We 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.
