The 42nd Niwano Peace Prize was awarded to Musawah in recognition of its immense efforts to strengthen citizenship and peaceful coexistence in diverse societies, and to create contexts and platforms for interfaith dialogue and spiritual solidarity. It is addressing the gender biased socio-economic, legal and political discrimination in human history. Its goal is to uncover the voices of women that have long been silenced in cultural and religious societies. Its international network includes hundreds of advocates from over 40 countries, who are campaigning for positive changes in attitudes, practices, laws, and policies to support the human rights of women and girls in Muslim countries. The Niwano Peace Foundation honors Musawah’s dedication to empowering women’s leadership in social, legal, and spiritual activism, advancing civic engagement, human rights, and peace.
