It is Indian, is Pakistani and both are fighting for the rights of children. In Oslo, Norway, and Kailash Satyarthi Malala Yousafzai receive their Nobel Peace Prize. To the parents of the girl and the Norwegian royal family, the two winners launched an impassioned plea for children's rights.
"There is no greater violence to deny the dreams of our children says Kailash Satyarthi. Therefore, I refuse to accept that all the temples, mosques, churches and prayer houses have no room for the dreams of our children. I refuse to accept that the world is too poor, when only one week of global military spending would be enough to put all our children in classes. "
The global icon of the fight for girls' education is committed to fight until the last child to be educated.
"This award is not only for me says Malala Yousafzai. It is for these forgotten children who want an education. It is for these frightened children who want peace. It is for these children without a voice that want change. I am here to defend their rights, to carry their voice. This is not the time to complain about them. This is the time to act! "
A Pakistani, an Indian, a Muslim and a Hindu: for the Chairman of the Nobel Committee, the two winners are symbols of what the world needs more unity and brotherhood among nations.
