Students Who Survived Parkland Shooting Receive International Peace Prize

Four students who survived the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February have received an international peace prize for their activism against gun violence.

David Hogg, Emma Gonzlez, Jaclyn Corin and Matt Deitsch on Tuesday received the 2018 International Childrens Peace Prize in a ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa. Archbishop Desmond Tutu presented the prize, which was founded by youth advocacy organization KidsRights.

The peaceful campaign to demand safe schools and communities and the eradication of gun violence is reminiscent of other great peace movements in history, Tutu said during the ceremony, according to a release .

The Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School left 17 people dead and ignited a wave of student demonstrations across the country against gun violence. Hogg, Gonzlez, Corin, Deitsch and other students founded March for Our Lives and emerged as prominent voices in the campaign for stricter gun laws.

I am in awe of these children, whose powerful message is amplified by their youthful energy and an unshakable belief that children can, no must, improve their own futures, Tutu said. They are true changemakers who have demonstrated most powerfully that children can move the world.

March for Our Lives celebrated on Twitter , writing: This award is for everyone that has supported us, marched with us, and organized with us. This is only the beginning of our global movement.

Thank you, @KidsRights, for awarding us with the 2018 International Childrens Peace Prize.

9 months ago we were 25 kids on a living-room floor.

Today Desmond Tutu gave us the International Childrens Peace Prize in Cape Town, South Africa

Anything is fucking possible.
Thank you @KidsRights !

Among the ceremonys guests was Manuel Oliver, whose son, Joaquin, was killed in the shooting.

''Today March For Our Lives has more influence than ever, they became game changers and their story is just beginning to reach other social and political spaces.''
