Hans Thoolen on Human Rights Defenders and their awards

AWID is an international, feminist, membership organisation committed to achieving gender equality, sustainable development and women’s human rights.  AWID honors feminists and Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) who have died and whose contributions to the advancement of human rights are very much missed. This tribute takes the form of an online photo exhibition featuring photographs and biographies of women’s rights leaders from around the world – was first launched at AWID’s 12th International Forum on Women’s Rights in Development, held in April 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey, and is updated every year as part of the 16 Days Campaign Against Gender Based Violence (November 25 – December 10).
