Om Prakash Gurjar 阿曼·普拉卡什·歌贾

1992

At the age of five, he was taken away from his parents and for three years he worked in the fields. After he was rescued by activists of Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Om campaigned for free education in his native Rajasthan. He then helped to set up a network of what are known as “child friendly villages”, places where children’s rights are respected and child labour is not allowed. He also set up a network that aims to give all children a birth certificate as a way of helping to protect them from exploitation. He also worked to ensure children are given birth certificates. He says such registration is the first step towards enshrining children’s rights, proving their age, and helping to protect them from slavery, trafficking, forced marriage or serving as a child soldiers.

He was awarded the International Children’s Peace Prize by former South African President FW de Klerk, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.

5岁时他被带离了父母身边并干了长达3年农活。被拯救儿童运动的活动分子解救以后，阿曼在他的家乡拉贾斯坦邦为免费教育斗争。接着他又帮助建设著名的“儿童友好村”广播网，一个尊重儿童权利和禁止童工的网络。同时他也建立起一个旨在给予每个儿童出生认证的网络，作为一个保护儿童出生权免受剥夺的方法。他也致力于确保儿童得到出生认证的工作。他说这种的登记是保护儿童权利，核对儿童年龄，帮助保护他们免于奴役，买卖，逼婚和充当童军的第一步。

他被前南非总统、1993年诺贝尔和平奖得主德克勒克授予国际儿童和平奖。
