🏅 Fighting for peace

Nila Ibrahimi, 17, just won the International Children’s Peace Prize for her determination to sing when silenced. 

The Afghan teen is known for supporting the rights of girls in the wake of the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. A few years ago, Nila helped overturn the "no singing" ban when her brother posted a video of her singing proudly online.

• After fleeing to Canada with her family, Nila co-founded "Her Story," an organization that encourages Afghan girls to share their stories.
