Support -- Two girls protesting against child slavery in New York, 1 May 1909. Of topical interest now that more than a century later, Kailash Satyarthi, who has campaigned especially against child slavery, shares the Nobel Peace Prize with Malala Yousafzai for their activism against the oppression of children and young people. A featured image on the Hebrew and Turkish Wikipedias, but not refined enough it would seem for the especially exquisite aesthetic sensibilities of the folk at WP:Featured Pictures.

Comment A great news for my country. But IMHO, pictures like this or this is better to convey the importance of his work. Jee 12:24, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yes indeed, they're both fine images. And of course you can find them in Europe too, the heartbreaking drudgery of children sewing shoes in Portugal for example, which still goes on (from a peak of around 200,000 such children in the early 1990s). But the motivation for my nominating this file was that it was a protest from more than a century ago, and of course the very striking portraits. One can weave tales round such portraits. It's a fine image which deserves to be featured. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Would love to support it, but I have a conflict of interest (I'm Coat's ex). Originally nominated by my own ex incidentally. Small world, eh? RobvanderWaal (talk) 11:55, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
