Around the world, women defending human rights face immense risks — from threats to their safety to restrictions on their freedom to work and live openly. Yet their courage continues to inspire hope and drive change in communities where rights are under attack.
This award recognizes extraordinary leaders advancing the rights of women and children through non‑violent advocacy. It highlights founders, directors, and movement leaders who have created measurable impact in their regions, often at great personal risk. Beyond recognition, the award provides international visibility, protection, and support, ensuring recipients can continue their vital work with strengthened global attention.
Nominations may include letters of recommendation that showcase the nominee’s impact and commitment, amplifying their contributions to justice and equality.
💡 Individual award funding available — USD 20,000, granted directly to recipients for discretionary use.
