The India #Noble Peace Prize winner has repeatedly risked his life fighting #childlabolur and sweatshop abuses.
Early on, Kailash sir built organizations that #freed children from lives of grueling “bonded” slave labor, some of them as young as 4, shackled to carpet looms in horrific conditions. If the children tried to escape, Kailash sir explained, “they were hanged upside down on trees and beaten with stones. Their legs were broken so they couldn’t run away again.”

He also helped found the South Asian Coalition on Child Servitude, which links his group to similar ones in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and many more.
