Denis Mukwege, Nadia Murad won 2018 Nobel Peace Prize on - 5th October 2018

The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize to Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad on 5th October 2018  for their efforts to end sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.

Both Mukwege and Murad made a crucial contribution towards focussing their attention to combat war crimes. Both of them have helped to give more visibility towards war-time sexual violence, so that the perpetrators can be held accountable for their actions.

Denis Mukwege is the helper who has devoted his life to defend the victims and to seek justice for them, while Nadia Murad is the witness who speaks of the  abuses against her and others. She is courageous enough to recount her own sufferings and speaking up on behalf of others as well.

Mukwege and Murad have put their personal security at risk by combating war crimes and seeking justice for victims.
