The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to two champions of children's rights.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee bestowed the honor on 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai and 60-year-old Kailash Satyarthi.
Malala is from Pakistan and was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman two years ago, when the shooter boarded her school bus and waged the attack.
She was barely 11 when she began championing girls' education and speaking out.
Meanwhile, India's Satyarthi said she leads peaceful protests "focusing on the grave exploitation of children for financial gain."
He joined the global movement to end child slavery and exploitative child labor in 1980 when he gave up a career as an electrical engineer.
