“救儿童就是救自己”——诺贝尔和平奖得主萨蒂亚尔蒂台北开讲
2014年诺贝尔和平奖得主凯拉什·萨蒂亚尔蒂15日下午在台北发表演讲时说，他在争取儿童权益过程中遇到过很多困难，但从未选择放弃，“每当拯救了一个儿童，就是拯救了自己”。
在演讲中，萨蒂亚尔蒂回顾了30多年来在印度为消除童工和保护儿童受教育权所作的努力。他说，30年前没人知道儿童该有的权利，改变人的心态和观念是这过程中最艰难的部分。“每个问题都有解决的办法，没有什么不可能的事，大家不该觉得问题解决不了。”
这位儿童权利卫士说，自己在过去几十年拯救被奴役、贩卖的儿童经历中遇过各种状况，包括被攻击、救援行动提前曝光、当地官员不了解法律等，但他从来没有放弃过。
“每次拯救了一个儿童，就是拯救了我自己，让人快乐，自己更快乐，就会有更多力量。”萨蒂亚尔蒂说，每次看到儿童的笑容和他们母亲的脸，都会感受到这些人的慈悲和善意。“他们选择了我帮助他们，他们在我的人生中做了伟大的事情。”
在讲述自己为什么要坚持这条道路时，萨蒂亚尔蒂说，多年前刚从采石场救出一个6岁女孩，因为不知道“香蕉”是何物，竟没剥皮就啃。而一起获救的其他孩童也跟着这样吃。
“那群孩子甚至不知甜是什么味道。”他说：“我从剥香蕉皮这么简单的事看到自由和奴役的差别。我的人生任务很简单，要看到每个儿童都有自由的童年，可以玩耍、上学，可以哭，也可以笑。”
萨蒂亚尔蒂是国际知名的儿童权益提倡者，也是世界对抗剥削儿童及文盲的先锋，自1980年起投身消除童工及倡导儿童教育运动，并在印度创立非政府组织“挽救童年行动”，至今已拯救逾8万名遭受人蛇集团控制及卖身契桎梏的儿童及被剥削劳工。正是这些艰苦卓绝的努力，让他获得2014年诺贝尔和平奖。
在回答获奖后个人工作、生活是否变化的提问时，萨蒂亚尔蒂坦言，自己的日常生活的确有改变，要应对太多的媒体需求，目前已接到1.1万个邀访。而别人对自己的VIP待遇，也让他感受到更大的责任感，“诺贝尔对我的意义，其实是有更多人可以加入儿童保护行动，我还是要继续做我自己”。
台湾当局领导人马英九出席聆听演讲，并在致辞中对萨蒂亚尔蒂长期推动拯救儿童事业表示赞赏，希望未来台湾可加强与其所在组织合作，支援全世界儿童保护运动。
