Portrait of Sudipto Debnath, youth leader and child rights activist from Bangladesh
Children's Peace Prize Nominee 2025
Published Journalist hello.bdnews24.com

A boy who chose to act.

At an age when most teenagers are discovering the world, Sudipto Debnath decided to change it.

Born in Satkhira, a coastal district of Bangladesh, Sudipto grew up witnessing children robbed of their futures — by child marriage, child labour, and educational barriers. Rather than look away, he picked up a microphone, a pen, and his voice.

Today, he is a debater, journalist, child rights activist, and community organiser whose work has reached schools, government offices, and international recognition platforms. He completed his SSC in 2025 from Satkhira Government High School and is now studying at Satkhira Government College — all while running campaigns that have saved real lives.
