Shruti Nagvanshi, Co-Founder of PVCHR honoured with Public Peace Prizze 2020-21


 Very good news for #PVCHR on the International Day for Peace that Shruti Nagvanshi became Public Peace prize Laureate.

On the occasion of the International Day of Peace, the Public Peace Prize team is pleased to present the winners of the 2020-21 edition!

This award is the only distinction in the world focused on the recognition of people and initiatives working for peace, that are proposed, nominated and validated by the public.

This year, in spite of the uncertainties of the pandemic, nine (9) nominations proposed and supported by local teams met the requirements to be nominated as a finalist. They come from five (5) countries: Canada, Colombia, India, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Pakistan. While they come from a variety of generations and cultures, on a daily basis these peacemakers are all rebuilding the broken bonds in their communities - misunderstandings, inequalities and tensions that are sometimes centuries old. They act through words, theater, human rights education; they set up economic empowerment initiatives for women and groups left to their own devices. Driven by strong convictions for the respect of all human life and the planet, these bearers of peace and justice transform the lives of thousands of victims of economic, social and cultural violence into an experience of human dignity and liberation.
Congratulation to Shruti Nagvanshi for honour with Public Peace Prize.

It is great honour for PVCHR, JanMItra Nyas and Savitri Bai Phule Mahila Panchayat in general and child rights and women rights work of JanMitra Nyas with collaboration of Child Rights and You in particular.
