The Martin Ennals Award Ceremony 2023 took place on 16th February 2023 at the Salle communale de Plainpalais in Geneva, Switzerland.
This memorable evening was once again dedicated to celebrating the impressive achievements of three exceptional human rights defenders whom the Martin Ennals Foundation and Jury are proud to have honored.
We are thrilled to announce three new Martin Ennals Award Laureates 2023!
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! ”
