Book Description
Kailash Satyarthi is a name synonymous with the fight against child labor. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Satyarthi has dedicated his life to rescuing children from exploitation and advocating for their right to education. His unwavering commitment to this cause has made him an inspiration to millions around the world. Satyarthi's journey began in the small town of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, India, where he witnessed first-hand the plight of children forced into hazardous labor. Deeply moved by their suffering, he resolved to make a difference in their lives. In 1980, at the age of 26, Satyarthi quit his job as an electrical engineer to dedicate himself full-time to the cause of child liberation. He founded Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), which translates to "Save Childhood Movement" in English. BBA quickly became a grassroots movement, organizing raids on child labor hotspots and rescuing children from exploitation. Satyarthi's work was not without its challenges. He faced opposition from powerful vested interests who profited from child labor. He was threatened, harassed, and even imprisoned. But Satyarthi never wavered in his resolve. He continued to fight for the children, using his voice and his actions to raise awareness and demand change. Satyarthi's efforts have had a profound impact on the lives of millions of children. He has rescued over 86,000 children from child labor and helped to rehabilitate and reintegrate them into society. He has also played a key role in advocating for stronger child labor laws and policies around the world. Over the past four decades, Satyarthi has tirelessly worked to dismantle the deep-rooted systems that perpetuate child labor. He has led numerous rescue operations, liberating countless children from exploitative workplaces, such as stone quarries, carpet factories, and brothels. He has also played a pivotal role in formulating and implementing child labor laws in India and around the world. Satyarthi's activism has extended beyond national borders, inspiring global movements against child labor. In 1998, he spearheaded the Global March Against Child Labor, a groundbreaking initiative that mobilized support from over 100 countries. He has also served as the co-chair of the Global Campaign for Education, advocating for the right of every child to quality education. In 2014, Satyarthi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Malala Yousafzai, for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. This prestigious award recognized Satyarthi's lifelong dedication to the cause of child liberation and his unwavering commitment to making the world a better place for children. Satyarthi's story is an inspiration to us all. It teaches us that even in the face of adversity, we can make a difference in the world. His unwavering commitment to the cause of children is a reminder that we all have a responsibility to stand up for the rights of others, especially the most vulnerable among us. Satyarthi's story is a testament to the power of individual action and the transformative potential of activism. His unwavering dedication to fighting child labor and promoting children's rights has inspired millions around the world and has made a profound impact on the lives of countless children. In the following chapters, we will delve deeper into Satyarthi's life, his work, and his impact on the world. We will explore his journey from an electrical engineer to a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and we will learn about the challenges he faced and the triumphs he achieved.

A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE As seen on Netflix with David Letterman "I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday." When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.

Book Description
In this powerful book, Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai introduces the people behind the statistics and news stories about the millions of people displaced worldwide. After her father was murdered, María escaped in the middle of the night with her mother. Zaynab was out of school for two years as she fled war before landing in America. Her sister, Sabreen, survived a harrowing journey to Italy. Ajida escaped horrific violence, but then found herself battling the elements to keep her family safe. Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement — first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then as an international activist who could travel anywhere except to the home she loved. In We Are Displaced, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys — girls who have lost their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known. In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every single one of the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person — often a young person — with hopes and dreams.
