Social reformer Mr. Kailash Satyarthi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his ‘struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education’ in 2014. He has been a tireless advocate of children’s rights globally for over four decades. His fearless and unrelenting policy advocacy efforts towards elimination of violence against children have resulted in path-breaking legislations globally.
 
Through his organization, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Mr. Satyarthi has liberated more than 100,000 children from child labour, slavery, trafficking and other forms of exploitation and developed a successful model for their education, rehabilitation and reintegration into the mainstream society. The Global March Against Child Labor, which he led, galvanized support in 103 countries resulting in the adoption of ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labor, which went on to become the only universally ratified convention in the history of the ILO. 
 
He is also the founding president of the Global Campaign for Education, an exemplar civil society movement working to end the global education crisis. He successfully spearheaded a countrywide movement to make education a Constitutional Provision which subsequently paved the way for the Right to Free and Compulsory Education in India in 2009. Mr Satyarthi is credited for establishing GoodWeave International (previously known as Rugmark), a first of its kind certification and social labelling mechanism for child labour free carpets in South Asia. He has worked to advance ethical business practices, to help businesses liberate their supply chains from child labour.
 
He has been at the forefront of driving child related agendas into the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which resulted in the UN Secretary General appointing him an SDG Advocate in 2021. Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation is ensuring an end to exploitation of children in India and around the world by addressing the inequality, injustice and discrimination that lie at the core of child labour. Mr Satyarthi has dedicated his life to realizing his vision of ending violence against children and building a world where every child is free to be a child.
 
In 2016, Mr Satyarthi launched Laureates and Leaders for Children, a platform bringing together Nobel Laureates and leaders committed to working together for the world’s most vulnerable children. Alongside former child labourers and students, he also launched the 100 Million campaign in 2016 to inspire and mobilize young people to stand up and act for their own rights and the rights of their peers.
 
A global thought leader, Mr Satyarthi has been at the forefront of demanding social protection for vulnerable children living in African nations and other low income countries. For him, every minute matters, every child matters and every childhood matters. 
 
Mr Satyarthi has received several prestigious awards including Parliamentarians for Global Action Defender of Democracy Award (2009-USA); Alfonso Comin International Award (2008- Spain); Robert F Kennedy Human Rights Award (1995-USA); Medal of the Italian Senate (2007-Italy); and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Human Rights Award (1999-Germany); Wockhardt Foundation, Lifetime Achievement Award (2019), Mother Teresa Memorial Award for Social Justice (2019) among many other accolades. In 2017, he received the Guinness World Record for Largest Child Safe Guarding Lesson.

Karolina Bielawska was born in Łódź, Poland in April 1999. Karolina has a First Class Honors Degree in Business Management, having scored the highest ever mark of any student in Poland. She is currently studying for her Masters Degree.

Karolina has ambitions to be a presenter of Live TV and Entertainment shows, walk the runway at London Paris Milan and New York Fashion weeks, to be the image representative for a major International Brand and to embrace the latest in digital advancements to become a Global influencer and force for good! 

Karolina represented Poland at the Miss World Final held at the Coca-Cola Music Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 16 March 2022, when she became only the second Polish winner of Miss World after Aneta Kręglicka who won the title 33 years earlier!

Karolina wowed the judges in San Juan with her stunning persona and extraordinary public speaking abilities. When this was combined with a ground breaking “Beauty With A Purpose” Project. - Karolina Bielawska was crowned the 70th Miss World!
 
Karolina revealed that that she has joined “Zupa Na Pietrynie" ,a group of like minded people people with huge hearts and the desire to help others. 

“We provide hot meals, food packages, masks and clothing for homeless and people in need. Every Sunday we try to meet not only their physical needs, but also share a smile, kind word and our time with them. Every one of us is unique and has something to offer that somebody else needs. I wanted to help because I thought I could make a difference in their lives but that moment also helped me and changed my life. I realise now that while sharing what we have with others, we can create those little “miracles” and make the world a better place for everyone, including ourselves.”

In addition, to her dedication to feeding, clothing and counselling the homeless people on the streets in her community, Karolina has played an important part in the building of a communal bathroom and shower block for the people living on the streets in Łódź.

“Once we completed the project - the effect was incredible - the street people felt like human beings again as they were clean and fresh and from this small beginning, they gained the confidence to get further help to improve their lives.”

It’s now Karolina’s hope that other cities will follow the Łódź example.

“I truly believe in the magical story that Julia Morley Miss World Chairman and CEO tells every Miss World Contestant when they arrive for the Final.

On a visit to Singapore in 1972, Julia Morley, looked out from her hotel window and saw an old lady washing and feeding several street children. The old lady continued to do the washing and feeding at the same time every day! 

Julia was curious and questioned as to why she did this every day, if the same problem would still be there tomorrow? The old lady simply replied: “Isn’t it better to light one candle in the dark than not to see at all?” 

It was a defining moment that became Julia’s inspiration to launch one of the world’s greatest Humanitarian and Community Service programmes.

Julia Morley came home and lit her candle in the dark naming it "Beauty with a Purpose." and soon after Julia implored each and every Miss World contestant to do the same. Now I have lit my “candle in the dark” and hopefully I will inspire many others to do the same”

Since Karolina was crowned in March 2022, she has traveled to nearly half of the 40 countries that she is due to visit during her reign, helping to raise millions of dollars and creating impactful change wherever she travels.

When she hands over her crown Karolina will have broken all records having visited more countries and supported more humanitarian projects than any previous Miss World!
