We are thrilled to announce three new Martin Ennals Award Laureates 2023! Watch them take questions from the press at the Club Suisse de la Presse, livestreamed on February 14th, 2023 from 12h CET:

THE LAUREATES

The 2023 Laureates — Delphine Djiraibé (Chad), Feliciano Reyna (Venezuela), and Khurram Parvez (Jammu and Kashmir) — have each dedicated over 30 years of their lives to building movements which brought justice for victims, accountability from leaders, or medicines to the marginalized. They have made human rights real for thousands of people in their communities, despite the ongoing, sometimes life-threatening, challenges they endure.  

“ Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much! ”
