Zayed Award for Human Fraternity helps promote women's rights

His Holiness Pope Francis said  that the Zayed Award for Human Fraternity helps to promote the protection of women’s rights.

It was first established on February 4, 2019, to mark the meeting between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, Ahmed Al Tayeb, in Abu Dhabi. 

Speaking in the Vatican during a meeting with the 2023 judging committee, he said the award promotes human fraternity on a global scale.

“Your work is important in advancing the message of human fraternity,” said Pope Francis, who was an honorary recipient of the award in 2019, alongside Dr Al Tayeb.

“It is important in your work to uphold the dignity of women as women’s rights are often outlined on paper but not practised in reality.”
