In 1998, Satyarthi led the Global March against Child Labour, an 80,000 km long march across 103 countries to put forth a global demand against child labour. The movement became one of the largest social movements ever on behalf of exploited children.

Reviews

[Johny Paul · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this touching and hard-hitting book, Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, fondly called as "Bhaiyya-ji" by thousands of children whom he and his team at "Bachpan Bachaon Andolan" (Free the Children Movement); shares with the world his multi-decade long work on abolition and rehabilitation of enslaved children in India.

The book unfolds various types of cases that he and his team encountered over the years with children rescued from unfathomable situations.

A must read for any world citizen, especially Indians. It raises the big question on thoughtful consumerism for everyone.
