Iqbal Masih, born 1982, was a Pakistani boy who was sold to the carpet industry as a child slave at the age of 4 for an equivalent of 12 USD.

At the age of 10, he escaped the slavery and henceforth put effort into the liberation of other child slaves, and the struggle for freedom and rights for children in Pakistan.

He was murdered on Easter Sunday 1995. Five years later, when The World's Children's Prize for the Rights of the Child was formed, he was awarded this prize as one of the first laureates.
