The event highlighted the book’s exploration of social justice, child rights, and global compassion.

The book narrates his life struggles, activism, and unwavering efforts to eradicate child labor. Satyarthi shares his personal experiences, from humble beginnings in Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, to leading international movements like the Global March Against Child Labour, which reached 186 countries.
