Kathmandu
: The Government has felicitated noted Indian child rights activist and Nobel
laureate Kailash Satyarthi at a function organized by the Ministry of Women,
Children and Social Welfare and the Central Child Welfare Board here today.
Parliamentary Women, Children and Social Welfare
Committee Chair Ranju Jha and the Child Welfare Board Chair Dilli Ram Giri
expressed the view that the path shown by Satyarthi was exemplary for child
rights activists in Nepali to follow.
Minister
for Women, Children and Social Welfare Nilam KC felicitated the joint Nobel
peace prize winner for 2014 in recognition of his contribution to the field of
child rights.
Accepting
the honour, Satyarthi said the prize he received was the prize won by all the
voiceless and identity-less children across the globe.
He
also emphasized on the need to internalize child rights in our customs, instead
of limiting it to the law and speeches.
Satyarthi
said the credit of him winning the coveted Nobel peace prize also goes to
Nepal, while pointing out the commonality in the problems faced by the children
of Nepal and India.
He
appealed to the political parties, business and civil society organizations to
work together for a child-friendly society, child-friendly politics,
child-friendly culture and fiscal policy.
On
the occasion, Minister KC lauded the role played by Satyarthi in abolishing
child labour exploitation and child slavery, which, she said, has had a
positive impact in the protection of child rights in Nepal too.
