Front Line Defenders Award
"هؤلاء الحائزون على الجائزة هم شعاع نور في ظل ظروف قاتمة من القمع والتمييز والاحتجاز. إن التزامهم الراسخ بحقوق الإنسان يوفر لنا الحلول اللازمة لإنقاذ البشرية من حافة الهاوية، ولبناء عالم أفضل وأكثر عدلاً".
"يجب على الحكومات أن تبدأ في النظر إلى المدافعين/ات عن حقوق الإنسان، لا كتهديد لسيطرتها على السلطة، بل كصانعي تغيير إيجابيين قادرين على تحسين المجتمعات والدفاع عن حقوق مواطنيهم."
About the Award
The annual Front Line Defenders Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk was established in 2005 to honour the work of HRDs who are courageously making outstanding contributions to the promotion and protection of the human rights of others, often at great personal risk to themselves.
The Award focuses international attention on the work and struggles of HRDs, providing a greater national and international platform to speak about and advocate for the human rights issues they are defending.
Laureates are selected from among scores of candidates which are put forward in a secure, public nomination process carried out towards the end of each year and Award winners are announced on the day of the Award Ceremony in Dublin usually in May the following year.
Laureates receive a modest financial prize and support from Front Line Defenders teams on digital and physical security, advocacy, visibility, wellbeing and more.
Irish parliamentary Patrons of the Award include: Senator Malcolm Noonan, Senator Patricia Stephenson, Barry Ward TD, Cormac Devlin TD, Ivana Bacik TD, and Sean Crowe TD.
