A Bangladeshi boy has won the International Children’s Peace Prize for his work to fight cyberbullying(网络欺凌) in his country.
The prize winner, Sadat Rahman, promised to keep fighting online abuse until it no longer exists.“The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter,” Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony. He added,“If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying.”
Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report relevant cases. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying.“I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app,” Rahman said at the ceremony.
The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the KidsRights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support the causes that are closely linked to the winner’s work.
Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organised the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.
Yousafzai praised Rahman’s work during the ceremony. She spoke through video conferencing.“All children have the right to be protected from violence no matter if it is physical or mental, offline or online,” she said.“Cyberbullying is a violation of that right.”
