孟加拉男孩打击网络欺凌获得国际儿童和平奖
A 17-year-old Bangladeshi boy has won this year’s International Children’s Peace Prize for his work to fight cyberbullying in his country.
一名17岁的孟加拉男孩因在他们国家打击网络霸凌获得了今年的国际儿童和平奖。
The prize winner, Sadat Rahman, promised to keep fighting online abuse until it no longer exists. “The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a warrior,” Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, “If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying.”
获奖者萨达特·拉赫曼承诺将继续打击网络霸凌行为直至其消失。萨达特·拉赫曼11月13日在荷兰海牙举行的仪式上说：“打击网络欺凌就像一场战争，在这场战争中，我是一名战士。”他还说道：“如果大家都能继续支持我，那么我们将一起赢得这场打击网络欺凌的战斗。”
Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. “I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app,” Rahman said at the ceremony.
拉赫曼开发了一个手机应用程序，该程序为人们提供有关网络欺凌的教育和报告欺凌事件的方法。他说，在听到一个15岁女孩因网络欺凌自杀的故事后，他开始进行这个项目。拉赫曼在这次仪式上说：“除非这个应用程序上不再有人反馈案件，否则我不会停止这项工作。”
The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the KidsRights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner’s work.
伴随该奖项的还有儿童权利基金会提供的超过11.8万美元的奖金。儿童权利基金会会选择项目来支持与获奖者密切相关的事业。
Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg won the prize too. And students who organized the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won.
巴基斯坦人权活动家马拉拉·优素福·扎伊是该奖项曾经知名的获奖者之一。瑞典气候活动家格雷塔·图恩伯格也获得过这个奖项。2018年，美国佛罗里达州某校园发生致命的大规模枪击事件后，组织了“为我们的生命而游行”活动的学生也获得过这一奖项。
Yousafzai won the International Children’s Peace Prize in 2013. A year later, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for campaigning for girls to have a universal right to education.
优素福·扎伊于2013年获得国际儿童和平奖。一年后，她因倡导女孩享有普遍受教育权而获得诺贝尔和平奖。
Yousafzai praised Rahman’s work during the ceremony. She spoke through video conferencing.
优素福·扎伊在仪式上通过电视会议赞扬了拉赫曼的成绩。
“All children have the right to be protected from violence no matter if it is physical or mental, offline or online,” she said. “Cyberbullying is a violation of that right.”
她说：“所有儿童都有权受到保护，不受暴力侵害，无论是身体上的还是精神上的，线下的还是网上的。网络欺凌侵犯了这一权利。”
