Afghan Woman Awarded 2023 World Peace Prize for Defiance Against Taliban Oppression

Despite the Taliban regime's oppressive hold on Afghanistan, Nargis Mommand Hassanzai, a brave Afghan lady, has won the esteemed 2023 World Peace Prize. According to Khaama Press, the honour, which was given to her in Sweden, honours her steadfast dedication to upholding human rights as well as her persistent efforts to advance peace in the face of hardship.

The extraordinary acknowledgment of Hassanzai demonstrates how even in the face of the most difficult obstacles, one person can influence good change. She responded in a sincere manner, expressing her appreciation for the honour and extending her gratitude to everyone who had supported her on her mission to advance world peace. "I would like to express my sincere thanks for being given the 2023 World Peace Award. She said on X (previously Twitter): "I am really grateful to those who have supported and contributed to my path towards spreading peace. It is with great humility that I accept this important distinction.

According to Khaama Press, Hassanzai's path has been distinguished by a fierce battle against oppression, gender inequity, restrictions on free expression, and gender injustice. Her successes serve as a ray of light for Afghan women who have spent the last two years resolutely fighting obstacles in society and school.

Hassanzai, a former instructor at Kabul University and ardent supporter of human rights, has played a crucial role in promoting reform in Afghanistan. This honour is a testimony to her diligent work and represents Afghan women's overall will to oppose oppression and injustice. Additionally, it typifies their unwavering will to alter their country and promote a culture of justice and equality.

The influence of Nargis Hassanzai has illuminated the hardships endured by Afghan women, exposing the shadow thrown on their rights, humanity, and the image of their country. By obtaining scholarships and making contributions to Afghan women's football, which have been acknowledged by FIFA, her efforts have crossed geographical bounds. Her effort was essential in getting Afghan women's football recognised officially and getting them to compete in European tournaments.

According to Khaama Press, the Nobel Prize given to Afghanistan in 2023 highlighted the country's everlasting fortitude and shared the amazing spirit of the Afghan people with the rest of the world.

However, the Taliban's comeback in August 2021 delivered Afghanistan's educational sector a serious setback. Religious seminaries rapidly supplanted schools and colleges, and girls were forbidden from receiving an education. The Taliban enforced severe limits on women's rights, including as freedom of expression, association, and mobility, in spite of requests from other countries for equal access to education and work.

The Taliban's rules have prevented women from accessing the workforce, limited women's movement, and barred girls from secondary school. Women have also been excluded from public places like parks, gyms, and bathrooms. The difficulties experienced by Afghan women and girls have gotten worse as a result of the Taliban's resistance to international engagement and their continuous enactment of regressive policies.

The announcement that Nargis Mommand Hassanzai would receive the 2023 World Peace Prize is a potent reminder of the fortitude and tenacity that people may demonstrate even under the most trying situations. Her actions serve as a monument to the Afghan women's unwavering spirit and their fight for equality, justice, and enduring peace.
