Bangladeshi teenager Sadat Rahman has been awarded the International Children’s Peace Prize for creating an app to protect children from cyber crime. Two years before receiving this award, Sadat received the ‘Joy Bangla Youth Award-2017’.
Sadat Rahman, 17, was inspired to create a mobile app to help young people report online abuse after hearing about a 15-year-old girl who took her own life because of bullying.
About 1,800 teenagers in his local district have now used the app.
Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai described him as “an inspiration”.
“He’s calling on young people all over the world to stop cyberbullying and to help peers in their community who suffer from mental and emotional violence. Sadat is a true changemaker,” she said in an online speech.
The International Children’s Peace Prize is an annual award that recognizes the work of young people who promote children’s rights. Previous winners include Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Pakistani social worker, has handed over the Children’s Peace Prize 2020, an international award in the Netherlands for her mobile app ‘Cyber Teens’ to protect children and teenagers from cyber bullying.
Sadat Rahman won the International Children’s Peace Prize for creating an app to protect children from cybercrime. The competition started with the nomination of 142 children from 42 countries.
Sadat Narail, 18, is a class XII student of Abdul High City College. Sadat Rahman is conducting various activities to protect children and adolescents from cyber bullying and cyber crime.
Sadat is a ‘young changemaker’ and social reformer. Sadat went to work after a 15-year-old girl committed suicide due to cyber bullying. With the help of his friends, he started a social organization called Narail Volunteers. The organization won the ‘Youth Innovation Challenge-2019’ of the non-governmental organization ActionAid and got the funds. With this fund, they created ‘Cyber Teens’ mobile app. Through this app, teenagers can learn how to stay safe in the internet world.
