Kurdish Human Rights Activist Wins 'Global Impact Award'
ARK News… A Kurdish human rights activist has won The Impact Award in New Zealand, a report said on Thursday.
Rez Gardi, a young woman originally from Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, is the winner of The Impact Awards for her work as a human rights campaigner, according to Newshub.
Becoming the first Kurd in history for doing this, Gardi graduated from Harvard Law School in 2019, while she works as a volunteer human rights activist, especially in the case of Yezidis, who were massacred by the Islamic State (IS) in 2014.
Although she lives in the United States, she spent part of her life in the Yezidi IDP camps during her stay in the Kurdistan Region.
