About the Event

The 3 awards -

Every day, tens of thousands of sisters worldwide are dedicating their lives to protecting their communities from exploitation.

• The Common Good Award - For courage and creativity in addressing exploitation

Despite adverse conditions and sometimes  scarce resources, sisters’ resourcefulness and dedication are leading to effective and sustainable work against trafficking across the world. This award winner will have demonstrated creativity and courage in their anti-trafficking interventions.

• The Servant Leadership Award - For excellence in network-building

Embedded in their communities, sisters are often uniquely placed to lead through service and develop long-term anti-trafficking systems and networks. This award winner will have contributed to the growth of such networks, and have facilitated collaboration across cultures and religions.

• The Human Dignity Award - For lifetime achievement in addressing exploitation

The effectiveness of sisters’ anti-trafficking work is often due to their familiarity with local customs and vulnerabilities, and the trust they have from local communities.

This award will go to a sister who has been committed to the fight against human trafficking for at least 15 years, and whose work has proven impactful and sustainable.
