Kailash Satyarthi, who was recently awarded with Nobel Peace Prize along with Malala Yousafzai, has said that people have to boycott products and services that involve children inorder to protect them from being exploited.

The child rights activist told Gulf News that people should have the courage to tell the employers they are boycotting their place or deciding against buying products from their store, because they are hampering the interests of children, which is a crime.

Satyarthi added that this will surely put psychological pressure on the industries that employ children.
