　　LONDON— The Indian and Pakistani winners ofthis year’s Nobel Peace Prize have called onpolitical and religious leaders to make children’srights a priority, and to improve the lives ofmillions of children caught in a cycle of poverty,child labor and lack of education.
　　The Peace Prize winners told an Oslo news conference that the Nobel Committee’s decisionhas put a global spotlight on children’s issues.
　　Seventeen-year-old Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan was nearly killed by the Taliban two yearsago for her advocacy for girls’ education. Sixty-year-old Kailash Satyarthi of India founded acharity that frees bonded child laborers and provides them with training and education.
　　Malala had invited the prime ministers of the two countries to Wednesday’s award ceremony,but they have not responded.
　　“I would have thought of it as a big opportunity to ask them to have good relationships and tomake education together their top priority and work on it together,” she said.
　　Satyarthi issued a broader appeal.
　　“I would definitely urge all the religious leaders in the world, and all the religions in the world,that if you really want to worship God and want to see a better world, begin with the children,”he said.
　　Satyarthi’s charity operates in 144 countries and has rescued thousands of children, many ofthem in his home country, India. He said Tuesday the Nobel Peace Prize has already broughtwelcome attention on the plight of poor, uneducated and enslaved children worldwide.
　　“When we are talking here, and addressing this press conference, millions of children cannottalk in freedom, cannot enjoy the freedom and smile as a child. We have to work for them,” saidSatyarthi.
　　Malala Yousafzai campaigned for girls’ education in northern Pakistan, after the Taliban movedinto the area and closed schools. An alleged Taliban militant shot her in the head.
　　“There are so many countries where children are not asking for any iPad or computer oranything else," she said. "What they are asking for is just a book and just a pen. So why can’twe do that? Why can’t we just give a book and a pen? Why can’t we just give a school tochildren, which can really change their future, really change their world?”
　　Malala said people like her attacker, who think Islam forbids educating women, were themselvesuneducated.
　　“In Islam, education is not only a child’s right, but it is their duty. There is a hadith from theProphet that you should get education, you should get knowledge. It’s not just limited tomen,” she said.
　　Much has been made of the fact that the Nobel Committee gave the Peace Prize to an Indianand a Pakistani, a Hindu and a Muslim. On Tuesday, Satyarthi said he considered Malala hisdaughter. And Malala said just because India and Pakistan had a border between them, theydid’t have to hate each other.
