After she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize , there was praise , but also some disapproval of the decision . A Norwegian jurist , Fredrik Heffermehl , commented on being awarded the Nobel Prize : " This is not for fine people who have done nice things and are glad to receive it . All of that is irrelevant . What Nobel wanted was a prize that promoted global disarmament . " Adán Cortés , a college student from Mexico City and asylum seeker , interrupted Yousafzai 's Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony in protest for the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping in Mexico , but was quickly taken away by security personnel . Yousafzai later sympathised , and acknowledged that problems are faced by young people all over the world , saying " there are problems in Mexico , there are problems even in America , even here in Norway , and it is really important that children raise their voices "
