The Human Rights Watch Annual Dinner, Voices for Justice, celebrates the valor of individuals who risk their lives to defend the dignity and rights of others. This year, we salute three brave activists—from Iran, Sudan, and Uganda — whose work exemplifies issues addressed by Human Rights Watch: creating a more open and democratic political culture in Iran; ethnic cleansing in Darfur; and the plight of women and children living with AIDS in Uganda. Human Rights Watch collaborates with these courageous human rights defenders to create a world in which people live free of violence, discrimination,and oppression.
