Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child's eye - it is very beautiful.

Every single minute matters, every single child matters, every single childhood matters.

I dream for a world which is free of child labour, a world in which every child goes to school. A world in which every child gets his rights.

I have been very strongly advocating that poverty must not be used as an excuse to continue child labour. It perpetuates poverty. If children are deprived of education, they remain poor.

Child labor perpetuates poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, population growth, and other social problems.

Denial of childhood and denial of freedom are the biggest sins which humankind has been committing and perpetuating for ages.
