争议

在萨蒂亚尔蒂得到诺贝尔奖后，也引起了童工在印度是否立法禁止的讨论。有舆论以及学术的研究指出，立法禁止工厂主人雇用童工，并无法造成儿童生活品质的提升或提升就学率，相反可能会导致这些雇用转为地下化而使童工的工资降低，或者是导致更多儿童成为雏妓、街童。

Kailash Satyarthi (born 11 January 1954) is an Indian social reformer who campaigned against child labor in India and advocated for the universal right to education and right to life for children.

In 2014, he was the co-recipient of 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." He is the founder of multiple social activist organizations, including Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Global March Against Child Labour, Global Campaign for Education, Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation, and Bal Ashram Trust and Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion.

Kailash Satyarthi and his team at Bachpan Bachao Andolan have liberated more than 138,000 children in India from child labour, slavery and trafficking. In 1998, Satyarthi conceived and led the Global March against Child Labour, an 80,000 km (c. 49,710 mi)-long march across 103 countries to put forth a global demand against worst forms of child labour. This became one of the largest social movements ever on behalf of exploited children. The demands of the marchers, which included children and youth (particularly the survivors of trafficking for forced labor, exploitation, sexual abuse, illegal organ transplants, armed conflict, etc.) were reflected in the draft of the ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. The following year, the convention was unanimously adopted at the ILO Conference in Geneva.

He has served on the board and committee of several international organizations including the Center for Victims of Torture (USA), the International Labour Rights Fund (USA), and the Cocoa Initiative.……

Early life

Kailash Satyarthi belongs to a middle-class family. He is the youngest among four brothers and a sister in his family.……
