Peace and Sport Council of Afghanistan Awards the 2025 Peace Prize to Mr. Abdullah Rasouli
The Peace and Sport Council of Afghanistan is honored to announce that the 2025 Peace Prize has been awarded to Mr. Abdullah Rasouli in recognition of his outstanding commitment to human rights, freedom of expression, and peaceful civic engagement in Afghanistan.
Mr. Abdullah Rasouli is a respected human rights activist, journalist, and founder of the FekreSabz Organization, with more than a decade of dedicated service to advancing women’s rights, human rights, and civic freedoms. Through FekreSabz, he has led impactful education initiatives, women’s empowerment programs, and community outreach projects that provide practical support while amplifying the voices of marginalized and vulnerable communities.
As a journalist and advocate, Mr. Rasouli has played a vital role in documenting human rights violations, raising international awareness, and creating safe platforms for victims and activists to be heard. His work has contributed to increased global engagement on Afghanistan’s human rights situation and strengthened solidarity across civil society networks.
Mr. Rasouli’s mission is rooted in restoring dignity, freedom, and equal opportunity for the people of Afghanistan. He remains firmly committed to nonviolent, rights-based approaches that expand access to education, protect women and children, and support resilient communities in peacefully claiming their rights. Despite escalating risks under the current Taliban regime—where girls’ education and fundamental freedoms face severe restrictions—he continues to organize, document, and advocate for justice, peace, and accountability.
A frequent participant in national and international conferences, Mr. Rasouli actively mobilizes support across civil society and the global community to advance human rights protections and humanitarian access. His courage, strategic leadership, and long-term vision for a free and equitable Afghanistan have inspired a new generation of activists and brought hope to those striving for a future defined by learning, safety, and opportunity.
The Peace and Sport Council of Afghanistan extends its warmest congratulations to Mr. Abdullah Rasouli on this well-deserved honor and commends his unwavering dedication to peace, justice, and human dignity.
