Bachpan Bachao Andolan
Kailash started his career as an electronic engineer. But he left his job at the age of 26 and gave his life for the rights of children. Kailash founded the ‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan’ in 1981 with the aim of ending child labour. That was the time, when people were not ready to accept that children also have some rights and child labor is a curse on the society.
More than 90 thousand children were freed from force majeure
It is noteworthy that the Bachpan Bachao Andolan, led by Satyarthi, has so far rehabilitated more than 90 thousand children from the life of bonded labor and slavery by taking guerilla action from place to place. With the help of NGOs and activists, Kailash Satyarthi conducted raids on thousands of factories and godowns where children were being employed. During this, he was also attacked several times by fatalities, but he continued his work.
