Each year Human Rights Watch honors individuals who have put their lives and safety at risk in the name of defending human rights. Please join us at the second annual Voices for Justice Amsterdam dinner where we will honor these human rights defenders with The Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism, our highest award.

This year in Amsterdam, Human Rights Watch will honor Sihem Bensedrine, a Tunisian journalist and activist who has worked for more than two decades to expose human rights violations in Tunisia and defend freedom of expression. For her tremendous courage and perseverance in speaking out against abuses and championing human rights reform in Tunisia, we will honor her with our highest tribute, the Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism.
