New Delhi: Compassion is going to be the new culture of the world and the youth is going to take it forward, Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi said on Monday.

Addressing the fourth 'Laureates and Leaders for Children' Conclave here, the Nobel prize recipient said his Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation had launched this movement to create a compassionate world for the children and help build a world without injustice and atrocities.

"Today I dream of a world without exploitation, without injustice, without atrocities. I dream of an inclusive world. A world where we learn how to work together," he said.

"My biggest trust lies in young people. Compassion is going to be the new culture of world. My young friends will take it forward. Hence, let us enlighten this path," the Nobel laureate said.

"We are one humanity. We have one shared future and hence we launched this movement," he added.
