PEACE NOBEL PRIZE 2014

PEACE NOBEL PRIZE 2014

"Kailash Satyarthi Malala Yousafzai"

Hello dear readers. Today, I am going to write about the peace noble prize in 2014. The nobel prize winners are Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai. I choose the peace nobel prize because I think that is the most important prize of all the nobel prizes.

      Kailash Satyarthi                   Malala Yousafzai

But why have they won the peace nobel prize? What do they do?

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2014 is to be awarded to Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzay for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. Because, children must go to school and not be financially exploited. In the poor countries of the world, 60% of the present population is under 25 years of age. It is a prerequisite for peaceful global development that the rights of children and young people be respected. In conflict-ridden areas in particular, the violation of children leads to the continuation of violence from generation to generation.


KAILASH SATYARTHI

Kailash Satyarthi is an Indian children's rightsadvocate and an activist against child labour.He founded the Bachpan Bachao Andolan (lit. Save the Childhood Movement) in 1980 and has acted to protect the rights of more than 83,000 children from 144 countries.

Originally named Kailash Sharma, Satyarthi was born on 11 January 1954 in the Vidisha district of central Indian state Madhya Pradesh. He attended Government Boys Higher Secondary School, and completed his degree in electrical engineering at Samrat Ashok Technological Institute, Vidisha and a post-graduate degree in high-voltage engineering.

Today, the non-profit organization Bachpan Bachao Andolan he founded is leading the movement to eliminate child trafficking and child labour in India. The organisation has been working towards rescuing trafficked children for over 30 years. It receives information from a large network of volunteers.

MALALA YOUSAFZAI

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize recipient. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native Swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Yousafzai's advocacy has since grown into an international movement.

Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan. As a child, she became an advocate for girls' education, which resulted in the Taliban issuing a death threat against her. On October 9, 2012, a gunman shot Malala when she was traveling home from school. She survived, and has continued to speak out on the importance of education. She was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2013. In  2014,  she was nominated again and won,

becoming the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

I think, that they deserve the peace nobel prize because they are claiming the human rights.
