Sikandar’s Words About the Award

“It is a great honour and really motivating to receive the Human Act Award, and even after one of my great role models, Greta Thunberg, received the award last year,” says Sikandar Siddique.

He furthermore states that the fight for a climate-responsible and diverse Denmark with equal opportunities for all has never been more urgent. “Economic inequality, racism, and a wasteful over-consumption of the planet’s resources mean that we as human beings are in a moment of destiny, where we must together insist on new thinking and radical solutions to pass on a sustainable world to future generations. I will do my best to live up to the honour, and I will approach the task with a huge humility.”

“I am proud to present Sikandar Siddique with our annual award. He is a role model for a diverse Denmark and a strong voice in the debate on inequality, climate, and Danish democracy,” says Djaffar Shalchi, the Human Act Founder.
