“The government must play a role, certainly, but it is more important for the people to demand equality and feel that equality is their right,” Satyarthi, 63, said in an exclusive interview with bdnews24.comon Tuesday. He spoke on the need for income equality, education, youth outreach and the projects he has undertaken on these matters. The answer to the widening income gap, according to Satyarthi, is education. “Education empowers people.”Through bridging the gap and democratising education for all children, equality can be brought about faster than in any other way, he said. Though a notable figure on the world stage, Satyarthi has often been known to keep a low-profile.
