The first winners for Amnesty International’s Gary Ware Legacy Award were announced this evening on Human Rights Day as a nod to the importance of youth voices in shaping Aotearoa’s future.
The Gary Ware Legacy Award is a new award from Amnesty International made possible by the Ware family who have been advocating for the rights of others in New Zealand and abroad for decades.
Entries have been piling in from young people across the country, with some incredible human rights initiatives including solar lights for village homes in Fiji, teddy bears for refugees and peer-to-peer mentor programmes.
