Nationality of Mother Theresa

[edit]

"only the second Indian winner of the Nobel Peace Prize after Mother Teresa in 1979" Wasn't she Albanian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.50.104.124 (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to Mother Theresa, she was Albanian, but was an Indian citizen from 1948. Davemck (talk) 17:32, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can this be added to the Work section please?

[edit]

Hi there

We're trying to help fill out Kailash's profile so there is more information on his work on public sources due to the light thrown on him today because of the Nobel prize. I'd like to add this post but not sure if I'd be allowed to?

During his time as GCE President millions of public engaged in global campaigns for youth and adult literacy, girls’ education, access to quality education and the increase of trained teachers among others during its Global Action Week.[1][2][3] In 2010, Kailash led GCE during its successful 1GOAL Education For All campaign, which saw 19 million people worldwide lobby for increased financing and access to quality education, culminating in the announcement of AUS$ 5 billion by the Australian Government at the 1GOAL closing event during the 2010 UN General Assembly, hosted by Kailash on behalf of GCE.[4]

Is this okay? Thanks for your help! (I have also uploaded an image for use on this page.)

"Child right" activist?

[edit]

The text currently refers to Satyarthi as "an Indian child right activist". To me, "child right" sounds awkward. It seems to me the phrase could have been "an Indian children's rights activist". Additionally, the link leads to the Wikipedia article entitled "Children's Rights". I know we're supposed to "be bold" and edit as we feel is appropriate, but I don't want to be bold if I'm just plain wrong. 76.173.169.1 (talk) 00:20, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done When you are right you are right. Why don't you get a wikipedia account and help us improve this and other articles ? (in general you don't even need an account, but unfortunately editing by non-account holders is restricted at this page due to some abuse). Abecedare (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just cant believe that this article is so small still!

[edit]

As an Indian, I feel shameful to see that this article is so small. I am also responsible for it one may say. And that is true. But does that mean that all of us are so busy that we cannot pay attention to a Nobel Laureate from India? Painfully strange! -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 04:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This seems a very important link. This can be used.

I am copy pasting it below so that the proper references can be used. Two of his colleagues were killed while fighting for this cause! I shall put that reference soon. Thank you. -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 06:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have redacted the cut-n-past text since that was a copyright violation. The link to the bio is still available and alive, and can indeed be used as a source to add to the wikipedia article. Abecedare (talk) 06:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of Unsourced Information

[edit]

User:‎Rohit Sharma14 has repeatedly added unsourced text to this article. Unsourced text is against Wikipedia polciy - namely verifiability WP:V, natability WP:N and biographies of living persons WP:BLP. By repeatedly reverting my edits to exclude unsourced material this editor engaged in an edit war WP:EW and failed to follow the process of editing WP:BRD. Looking at the overall edits of this editor they believe they own this article WP:OWN which they do not.

[edit]

Kailash Satyarthi (born 11 January 1954) is an Indian social reformer, visionary thought leader, and Nobel Peace Laureate at the forefront of the global movement to ignite the spark of compassion in the world. In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his ‘struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.’ Over the past 44 years, Satyarthi’s efforts have led to the rescue of more than 138,000 children and adults from child labour, trafficking and other forms of exploitation.

Satyarthi's life and mission embody the profound impact of compassion and its transformative power to drive meaningful change. He strongly believes compassion is not a weak emotion but a source of endless energy. Satyarthi redefines Compassion as mindful and selfless problem-solving. Compassion is believing that another’s suffering is your own and then taking urgent action to alleviate that suffering.

Through his latest initiative, the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC), Satyarthi strives to globalise compassion to achieve justice, equity, peace and sustainability for all. SMGC has introduced Compassion Quotient™, a powerful tool to measure and enhance one’s capacity for Compassionate Action.

Satyarthi is the founder of several impactful organisations, including Bachpan Bachao Andolan(BBA), GoodWeave International, Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation (KSCF) and the Global Campaign for Education (GCE). His fearless and relentless efforts to eliminate violence against the vulnerable have sparked numerous mass movements and led to the creation of groundbreaking legislation aimed at protecting the most marginalised worldwide. Sauravkscf (talk) 17:40, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I told you on your talk page, this content is unsuitable for Wikipedia because it promotes the subject in a subjective manner. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. We are not going to use language like "at the forefront of the global movement to ignite the spark of compassion in the world", "embody the profound impact of compassion and its transformative power to drive meaningful change", or "fearless and relentless efforts". That is pure puffery. Jfire (talk) 17:46, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Over the past 4 decades, Satyarthi’s efforts have led to the rescue of more than 138,000 children from child labour, trafficking and other forms of exploitation.

Through his initiative, the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC), Satyarthi promotes the globalisation of compassion to achieve justice, equity, peace, and sustainability. SMGC has introduced the Compassion Quotient™ (CQ), a tool designed to measure and enhance one's capacity for compassionate action. Satyarthi redefines compassion as mindful and selfless problem-solving, where individuals genuinely understand another’s suffering as their own and are compelled to take immediate action to alleviate that suffering.

The movement advocates for individuals, communities, and leaders to integrate compassion into decision-making and governance to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world. Satyarthi believes that compassion can transform individuals and society, as it has historically been the driving force behind religions, revolutions, and social movements.

Satyarthi founded several organisations, including the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC), Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation (KSCF), Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), GoodWeave International, Global March and the Global Campaign for Education (GCE). Through his work, Satyarthi has played a significant role in developing laws and policies to protect children and reduce child labour. His advocacy has led to the creation of legal frameworks addressing issues of exploitation and violence against children worldwide. Sauravkscf (talk) 17:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Need to change the intro section

[edit]

Kailash Satyarthi (born 11 January 1954) is an Indian Social Reformer, Global Thought Leader and Nobel Peace Laureate, who campaigned against child labour and advocated the universal right to education.

In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his “struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education." Through his latest initiative, the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC)[1], Satyarthi promotes the globalisation of compassion[2] to achieve justice, equity, peace, and sustainability. According to Satyarthi compassion is mindful and selfless problem-solving, where individuals genuinely understand another’s suffering as their own and are compelled to take immediate action to alleviate that suffering. Apart from SMGC, Satyarthi has founded several organisations, including Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation (KSCF)[3], Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA)[4], GoodWeave International[5], Global March[6] and the Global Campaign for Education (GCE)[7].

Over the last four decades, Kailash Satyarthi and his team at Bachpan Bachao Andolan have liberated more than 1,38,000 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 (ca. 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 labour, 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 Labor Rights Fund (USA), and the Cocoa Initiative. Satyarthi was among Fortune magazine's "World's Greatest Leaders" in 2015 and featured in LinkedIn's Power Profiles List in 2017 and 2018. Satyarthi led a nationwide march, Bharat Yatra, in India covering 19,000 km (12,000 mi) in 35 days, to demand for legislation against child rape and child Prostitution.
