Abstract

The International Humanitarian Award recognizes extraordinary humanitarian services and activism by psychologists, including professional and volunteer work conducted primarily in the field with underserved populations. Sayed Jafar Ahmadi and Zeinab Musavi cofounded the Behrawan Research and Psychology Services Organization (BRPSO) in 2015 to provide psychological and crisis intervention mental health services to vulnerable communities in Afghanistan. The BRPSO supported children and families during and after terrorist attacks, in the aftermath of explosions and earthquakes, and during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to providing mental health interventions, Ahmadi and Musavi have developed opportunities for Afghan girls to pursue higher education, and both have maintained a consistent commitment to psychological research, authoring several publications on the efficacy of psychological interventions among Afghan communities. In 2021, the threat posed by the Taliban's takeover forced Ahmadi and Musavi to emigrate. During that time, they nonetheless maintained support for communities in Afghanistan by providing interventions from afar while also continuing to advance psychological knowledge through education and research. Together, they embody the humanitarian ideals of helping others in need, supporting vulnerable communities, and contributing to the field of psychology with valuable knowledge and research. The Committee on Global Psychology is honored to present the 2024 International Humanitarian Award to Sayed Jafar Ahmadi and Zeinab Musavi.

国际人道主义奖：赛义德·贾法尔·艾哈迈迪和泽纳布·穆萨维。

国际人道主义奖旨在表彰心理学家的杰出人道主义服务和行动主义，包括主要在服务不足人群的领域开展的专业和志愿工作。赛义德·贾法尔·艾哈迈迪和泽纳布·穆萨维于2015年共同创立了贝赫拉万研究和心理服务组织（BRPSO），为阿富汗弱势社区提供心理和危机干预心理健康服务。在恐怖袭击期间和之后，在爆炸和地震之后，以及在COVID-19大流行期间，BRPSO为儿童和家庭提供支持。除了提供心理健康干预外，Ahmadi和Musavi还为阿富汗女孩创造了接受高等教育的机会，两人都一贯致力于心理学研究，撰写了几本关于阿富汗社区心理干预效果的出版物。2021年，塔利班掌权带来的威胁迫使艾哈迈迪和穆萨维移民。在此期间，尽管如此，他们仍然通过远程干预维持对阿富汗社区的支持，同时继续通过教育和研究推进心理学知识。他们共同体现了人道主义理想，即帮助有需要的人，支持弱势社区，并以宝贵的知识和研究为心理学领域做出贡献。全球心理学委员会荣幸地向赛义德·贾法尔·艾哈迈迪和泽纳布·穆萨维颁发2024年国际人道主义奖。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，版权所有）。
