Program & Dinner 7:30



The Human Rights Watch Annual Dinner, Voices for Justice, celebrates the valor of individuals who put their lives on the line to defend the rights of others. We are honoring three activists—from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, and Russia—whose work illuminates human rights challenges addressed by Human Rights Watch: the deadly conflict in eastern Congo, which has killed more civilians than any war since World War II; the lack of safety and security in Afghanistan; and serious abuses within the Russian military. Human Rights Watch collaborates with these courageous human rights defenders to create a world in which people live free of violence, discrimination, and oppression.

This year Human Rights Watch is proud to honor:

Habib Rahiab, Afghanistan

Natalia Zhukova, Russia

Maître Honoré Musoko, DR Congo
