So because of your dedication to children around the world, you were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. So if we're going to ever find a way to create a sustainable future for the planet and its people, then we must end child slavery around the world that supports the desire for inexpensive goods, where the costs are externalized and subsidized by children. My work here at the university with sustainability overlaps with yours because we cannot create a sustainable world on the backs of our children.
There are over still 150 million children working in these conditions around the globe. But unfortunately you can't solve these problems alone. You and your family and your colleagues have risked your lives countless times doing this work.
