– The person has used his celebrity status in a wise way to create a safer and better society for minority women to grow up in, said Noman Mubashir before the winner was announced.

Meskini tells VG that she is happy about her role in “Skam” and that it has gotten her to where she is today.

– It means so much. It is as several people have mentioned – activism is tough, but getting such recognition is motivating and inspiring.

Minister of Justice Emilie Enger Mehl helped open the evening:

– It can be difficult to get ahead. That’s why we really need them, and all of you, who are just paving the way, breaking taboos, standing up for others.

Mehl says she thinks so, but there are still many games left.

– We have lost too many to partner murder, especially this year. Those are terrible numbers.

Last year, it was June Holm and her foundation “We believe you” who walked away with the award.

There are a record number of nominees this year, says Kari Helene Partapuoli, general secretary of Plan International Norway.

– The award creates debate every year. But I think it’s a sign of good health and says something about how important the Girls’ Prize is.
