UNB, Dhaka :
Unicef has congratulated Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi, two powerful advocates for children, on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
“The award demonstrates the unshakeable conviction that children are a force for change,” the Unicef said in a statement issued from New York on Friday.
It said this well-deserved honour for two courageous champions for child rights comes on the year the international community celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The Unicef thinks this award will be an inspiration to all the millions of unnamed and unknown
children around the world who battle silently every day for the right to an education, the right to be heard and protected.
“The bravery and determination of Malala and Kailash is a rallying cry for children everywhere,” the statement reads.
