Nominations are now open for the People in Need’s Homo Homini Award 2022 to acknowledge all individuals and organizations for their efforts and help promote their cases in case they are persecuted.
Homo Homini has become one of the most prestigeous awards of its kind. Every year, People in Need confers the Homo Homini award to individuals who have greatly contributed to the promotion of human rights and democracy and nonviolent solutions to political conflicts.
People in Need is a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded on the ideals of humanism, freedom, equality and solidarity. They consider human dignity and freedom to be fundamental values. They believe that people anywhere in the world should have the right to make decisions about their lives and to share the rights expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
People in Need organization was established in 1992 by a group of Czech war correspondents who were no longer satisfied with merely relaying information about ongoing conflicts and began sending out aid. It gradually became established as a professional humanitarian organization striving to provide aid in troubled regions and support adherence to human rights around the world.
