About Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC)

Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC), founded by Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, is a global movement that champions compassion as a driving force for action and transformation. Its mission is to build a world rooted in justice, equality, peace, and sustainability through compassionate leadership and action across all areas of life.

SMGC’s core principle is that compassion is not a soft emotion - it is a powerful force, borne from feeling another’s suffering as one’s own and taking mindful action to end that suffering.

SMGC has three verticals :

SMGC Ignite : Fostering compassion through learning and leadership programs anchored in the Satyarthi Compassion Quotient™ with a focus on systemic and sustainable problem-solving.

SMGC Impact : Catalyzing grassroots transformation by empowering children, youth, and women with a focus on democratic participation and collective action.

SMGC Inspire : Driving meaningful dialogue through conferences and conversations with Nobel Laureates, changemakers, thought leaders, and community voices from across the globe.
