Ms. Yaftali stated regarding this: "This honor is not an individual achievement, but a reflection of the collective resilience and the ongoing struggle of Afghan women for human dignity, justice, and equality."


She also expressed gratitude to the Zayed Award institution, the independent jury board, and those involved in the process, describing this selection as a sign of the global community's commitment to fundamental human values, including peace, coexistence, and mutual respect.


According to this women's rights activist, the awarding of this prize is a tribute to those women who, despite widespread deprivation, systematic exclusion from education, and severe social restrictions, have steadfastly stood to preserve hope and a humane future.


Yaftali has described this accomplishment as far more than a ceremonial symbol for the women and girls of Afghanistan, viewing it as a catalyst for bolstering hope, motivation, and the continuation of the fight to achieve fundamental rights—particularly the right to education, social participation, and a life with human dignity.


She has dedicated this honor to all the women who, both inside Afghanistan and in diaspora communities, continue to strive for women's rights and girls' education amid pressures and threats, while expressing her thanks to civil society organizations, human rights activists, journalists, and international supporters for their solidarity and backing.


In conclusion, she has characterized the current situation of women in Afghanistan as an example of organized human rights violations, emphasizing that Afghanistan's future and stability cannot be achieved without guaranteeing women's rights. In her words, the global community's indifference to this situation amounts to the normalization of injustice.

Zahra Yaftali, an Afghan women's rights activist and civil society advocate, has received the International Zayed Award for Human Fraternity 2026. This award has been bestowed upon her in recognition of years of tireless efforts and advocacy in the fields of women's rights and human justice.
