Abstract:
A new generation of child leaders across the world are taking up social concerns and working for peace using nonviolent strategies. Right from advocating for climate change concerns to creating awareness on the menace of children marriage and using the symbolism of fasting for peace, the children are not just making impact amongst other young people but also adults. In the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, it would be apt to capture the efforts of the children and look at how other children can be motivated to join such nonviolent action. This chapter would specifically look at the efforts of four children, Greta Thunberg, Autumn Peltier, PayalJangid and Sajeda Al Sharief and try to assimilate on how their nonviolent action is a reflection of Gandhian nonviolence.
