Satyarthi, world leaders adopt 'Will' to end child labour,

Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi along with five global leaders today made a commitment to end child labour across the world and adopted a 'Will for Children' which calls for ending child slavery and violence against minors, among others.
The inaugural session of the 'Laureates and Leaders for Children' Summit-2016 today culminated here at the Rashtrapati Bhavan with Nobel laureates and leaders greeting President Pranab Mukherjee on his 81st birthday.
Satyarthi adopted the 'will for children' along with 2011 Nobel peace prize winners Tawakkol Karman of Yemen and Leymah Gbowee of Liberia, First Lady of Panama and UNAIDS Special Ambassador for AIDS in Latin America Lorena Castillo de Varela, former prime minister of Australia Julia Gillard and Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) Secretary-General Angel Gurria of Mexico.

On this occasion, Castillo de Varela lauded the efforts of Satyarthi in eradicating child labour and child slavery, and told reporters that she will make Panama free of child labour in two and half years.
The Nobel laureates and world leaders said children have the right to a safe, educated and healthy childhood.
"We will use our voices to protect and amplify the voices of millions of girls, boys and young people as equal citizens of today and decision makers of tomorrow.

"We reaffirm our unshakable belief that the power of change lies in the infinite and untapped capacities of children and young people for activism, to be instrumental in any change in their own environment, community and society," stated the Will adopted by them.

"We will take actions and experiences towards concrete efforts to ending child labour in all its forms, including trafficking of children, and abolishing modern day slavery; we will use our voices to increase awareness in society, and encourage processes that will help monitor and uplift the progresses made through relevant and robust metrics.

However, he said that he is satisfied with the police probe and added, "I have full faith that that moment will arrive when my grandson will be reading the citation."
Apart from the Nobel replica, the citation, and ancestral jewellery, burglars also fled with awards and precious gifts, including expensive pens that were given to Satyarthi from 1993-94 onwards by heads of states and other dignitaries for his work.

Satyarthi also revealed that since he didn't have any "safe place" to keep his precious awards, he had plans to build a museum where all the gifts and awards could be preserved.
Terming the incident "shameful", Satyarthi made a plea that those who had stolen the "national treasure" should return it.
"I request those people, whom I am sure must be from India, that they should realise their responsibility towards national treasure and return the citation that will inspire millions of young children in future generations," he requested.
Satyarthi said that even though the incident is unfortunate, it hasn't deterred his resolve.

"I will fight till the time child slavery doesn't end. I want to say that any robbery, any dacoity cannot deter me from my mission. On many previous occasions, my family and I have been attacked, but I have never given up," he said.
When asked if he will be hiring additional security, he said, "I don't think so. The biggest saviour is God and the biggest treasure that I have gained from my life is the blessings of children and no one can steal them and my resolve".
