The
Human Rights Watch Annual Dinner, Voices
for Justice, celebrates
individuals who risk their lives to protect the dignity and rights
of others. This year, Human Rights Watch honors three activists:
Mandira Sharma, who exposes disappearances
and indiscriminate attacks against civilians in Nepal; Veronica
Cruz, who fights for the right
of rape victims to receive the safe abortion they are entitled
to under Mexican law; and Arnold Tsunga, who takes
legal action against the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands
of people
in Zimbabwe.
Human
Rights Watch collaborates with these courageous human rights
defenders to create a world in which people live free of violence,
discrimination, and
oppression. |
