International Children's Peace Prize | H&M Kids
The International Children’s Peace Prize
The International Children’s Peace Prize was initiated by KidsRights’ founder Marc Dullaert and launched in November 2005 during the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates. The world’s most prestigious youth prize is awarded annually to a kid who courageously fights for children’s rights.
Growing our support
H&M is proud to be one of the 2023 International Children’s Peace Prize partners. The young winners create a positive impact and inspire millions of people around the globe. For us at H&M, this is another opportunity to spread knowledge about the award and inspire kids and adults alike by using our global reach and influence.
Our Role Model attended the award ceremony
For this year’s award ceremony, we decided to give one of our Members a chance to visit the International Children’s Peace Prize. Among many nominees, Maisie was picked as our Role Model due to her big heart and relentless work to help people in her community.
During the ceremony, Maisie got a chance to meet and talk to the finalists. She especially connected with Aaron Scarth’s work against the stigma and discrimination of children with incarcerated parents: “Growing up, I’ve had some challenging experiences, facing judgement and lack of awareness. I’m really happy that Aaron is talking about this, as it’s a topic close to my heart.”
Maisie hopes that adults continue to support and listen to children as they are the future. Hearing about other kids’ thoughts, ideas, and work was truly inspiring to her, and hopefully, this will give her and other kids extra fuel and inspiration to keep up their great work.
