The Liberty Human Rights Awards aim to honour those individuals and organisations dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights of others.
It is an opportunity to give proper recognition to the
people who provide essential support, information or inspiration on human
rights issues, and to say thank you – not only to those shortlisted, but to all
the countless individuals who fight to further protect and extend rights and
freedoms for us all.
Previous winners have included charity workers, campaign groups, lawyers, politicians and individual campaigners – all of whom made a significant contribution on the frontline of human rights issues.
