Kohima, July 14: The Naga People’s Front (NPF) Central Headquarters, Kohima, has extended its heartiest congratulations to Sano Vamuzo on being conferred the prestigious Baptist World Congress Quinquennial Human Rights Award for her lifetime achievements by the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) during the 23rd Baptist World Congress held in Brisbane, Australia, from July 7–12, 2025.
Sano Vamuzo holds a pioneering place in the history of Nagaland as the first Chairperson of the Nagaland State Commission for Women (NSCW) when it was instituted in 2007. She has since remained a towering figure in advocating for women’s representation and leadership not only in the state but also at the national and international levels, the NPF also said.

The NPF then said this global recognition is a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman who has devoted her life to championing the rights, dignity, and empowerment of women and the marginalized, inspiring generations towards building a more compassionate, inclusive, and just society.
It is worth noting that in 2024, she was also conferred the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian awards, in recognition of her distinguished service in the field of Social Work.
“This honour is not only a proud moment for the NSCW but also for every Naga woman and the entire Naga community, as it reflects the impact of her tireless efforts and vision”, the NPF added.
