The 2014 laureates of the Nobel Peace Prize Malala Yousafzay and Kailash Satyarthi received their awards from the Norwegian Nobel Committee at a ceremony held in Oslo City Hall on Wednesday.
Malala Yousafzay from Pakistan has become the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, awarded for her struggle for the right of girls to education.
Malala, who was shot in the head by a Taliban in 2012, has shown an outstanding courage and continues to be dedicated to her cause even when her life has been threatened.
Kailash Satyarthi is an activist for the rights of children, who continuing Gandhi's tradition, has participated in numerous peaceful protests and demonstrations.
He has focused on revealing the scale of exploitation of children and has contributed to the development of important international conventions on children's rights.
The two laureates were awarded for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and the right of all children to education.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognised their efforts in the struggle for education and against extremism.
This year's award ceremony had a message of reconciliation to it, as the joint winners Malala and Kailash come respectively from Pakistan and India, two countries that have been at war with each other and represent two different religions – Islam and Hinduism.
When presented with the award, Malala said that the Nobel Prize was not just for her, but for “those forgotten children who want education”.
In a similar vein, Kailash Satyarthi stated that he was at the ceremony to share “the voices and dreams of our children ”.
