I refuse to accept that the shackles of slavery can ever be stronger than the quest for freedom.
As the anti-slavery community, we must together ensure that this attention is transferred into concrete action and results.
I never go to temples, but when I see a child, I see God in them.
Denial of childhood and denial of freedom are the biggest sins which humankind has been committing and perpetuating for ages.
I am thankful to the Nobel committee for recognising the plight of millions of children who are suffering in this modern age.
I am representing here - the sound of silence. The cry of innocence. And, the face of invisibility. I represent millions of those children who are left behind, and that's why I have kept an empty chair here as a reminder.
