International Humanitarian Award: Sayed Jafar Ahmadi and Zeinab Musavi.

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.
