“Khadija Al-Salami is awarded for her courageous use of the power of film to positively influence and reshape societies in Yemen and beyond; for her strong messages about the global problems of discrimination against women and child marriage; for her unconventional portrayals of Yemeni women, giving insight into hidden lives and enabling women to speak for themselves and demonstrate their potential to change their society; for dealing with sensitive issues in a direct and disarming manner to encourage young girls to persevere in overcoming obstacles; for speaking out and bringing critical and controversial issues that had been silenced to a wide audience; and for her trailblazing role in Yemeni cinema, inspiring young generations of filmmakers to tell their own stories.”
