Nominations are now open for the 2023 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.
The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award identifies and honors those who embody Robert F. Kennedy’s belief that the power of individual and collective moral courage can overcome injustice.
Each year, they honor outstanding champions of social justice who stand up to oppression, even at great personal risk, in the nonviolent pursuit of human rights. Over the past 39 years, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award has recognized 57 outstanding activists and organizations from 31 countries.
Prize Details
- Honorees receive a cash prize of $30,000, but what sets this awards program apart is that they also receive ongoing support for their important work from RFK Human Rights—through campaigns and mobilization, strategic litigation, training and capacity-building, and other forms of critical support for their work and movements.
Criteria
- Users should only submit one entry each.
