Iranian actress and activist Nazanin Boniadi has been awarded the Sydney Peace Prize, Australia’s most prestigious peace prize, for her commitment to promoting women’s rights in Iran. Boniadi is known for her starring roles in the television comedy series How I Met Your Mother and the Hollywood action thriller film Hotel Mumbai.
He has been encouraging younger generations to raise their voices on global human rights issues and work for a more peaceful and just world.
Boniadi also spoke on Thursday at Sydney’s Cabramatta High School, which is one of the most culturally diverse schools in Australia, with many students coming from families who have fled armed conflict in their home countries. She told SBS News that she was inspired by the passion of school children. “There is a famous quote that says: Darkness does not drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate does not drive out hate, only love can do that.” “These children, these young people, this generation embody that phrase and I feel very honored to be in their presence. Not only are they the future, they are the leaders of today.”
