When we speak of peace, we must not reduce it to its narrowest meaning—as merely the absence of gunfire or the end of battles. True peace is not a fragile truce imposed by force, nor is it the silence of weapons over the ruins of justice.

Dear Friends,The most tragic fate one can endure is to be caught in a forgotten war—one that the world chooses to ignore.

Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

Hello everybody. Salamu alaykum—peace be upon all of you. I'm so happy to be here with you and honored to be a member of the expert committee for the International Children's Peace Prize.

I would say fear is natural, but silence is really dangerous. Silence allows injustice to persist. When I started my journey in defending human rights, expression rights, and women's rights—when I founded my organization “Women Journalists Without Chains,” and began the peaceful revolution against the dictator—I knew the risks. I faced threats, intimidation, and even violence. 

Salam Alaykum, Peace be upon you all.
