Who is Kailash Satyarthi, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize … – Newsweek Poland

The Indian factories even six-year work fourteen hours a day. They are humiliated, beaten and raped, burnt resistant to iron and hung on trees. For the fight against this modern-day slavery Nobel got Kailash Satyarthi.

Caste humiliated

factories in South Asia underage workers account for a quarter of the workforce – in the region of scattered factories employ 80 million children, of which 10 million are modern slaves. Poverty forces them to work several hours a day, the machines leave health and sometimes lives. Although their salaries are only a fraction of what they can earn adults, families living in poverty, and so they have no choice and send them to work. Moreover perpetuate the existing still in India – though unofficially – the caste system. Not walking to school children will never have the chance to work better than they do their poor parents.

It is for the fight against this state of affairs Kailash Satyarthi got 10 October, together with Malala Yousafzai Peace Prize Nobel Prize .

The spent iron

– On the streets of New Delhi, met 14-year-old Nageshawra. His trauma was so great that it almost did not speak, he was unable to utter a word, nor explain what happened to him. Only from other children learned that in childhood – as a slave – marked him fired seared with a hot iron – Kailash Satyarthi told the media. – Pulling out of those kids that costs a lot of work. They were slaves, since only reach memory. “Freedom” is a word unknown to them, they do not know what it means to be free. So the task we set for ourselves restore the lost childhood – he added.
