2023 Sydney Peace Prize Award Ceremony and Lecture

Each year, the Sydney Peace Prize brings the Sydney community together to talk about peace, justice, and non-violence, and to honour one of the world’s most inspiring peacemakers. This year's Peace Prize has been awarded to Iranian-born human rights advocate Nazanin Boniadi for her decades-long commitment to advancing women’s rights in Iran. 

The Peace Prize jury selected Ms Boniadi from a strong field of nominations “for drawing attention to human rights violations, for lending a powerful voice to support Iranian women and girls and their #WomanLifeFreedom movement, and for using a high-profile platform to promote freedom and justice in Iran.”

Join us to rally behind the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in an event that features:

• Jan Fran, MC and moderator

• Nazanin Boniadi, the 2023 Sydney Peace Prize Laureate

• Clover Moore AO, Lord Mayor of Sydney

• Kylie Moore-Gilbert, political science academic
