Right Livelihood 115d ago

Launched in 2024, the Women Laureates Hub is a collectively led space created together with women Right Livelihood Laureates. It exists for one purpose: to strengthen, protect and connect women human rights defenders worldwide. In this short film, created for the 2025 Right Livelihood Award Presentation, women Laureates reflect on why this network matters and what true solidarity looks like in practice. ✨ Why the Women Laureates Hub was created 🔹 Women human rights defenders face specific and escalating risks 🔹 Safe, supportive spaces are essential for sustaining their courage 🔹 Collective action is stronger when rooted in care, trust and shared experience 🔹 Laureates themselves called for a dedicated space to connect and act together 💬 What the Hub provides 🔹 A community where women Laureates can speak freely, without fear or reservation 🔹 Strength and solidarity for those working under immense pressure 🔹 A platform to build a common voice on urgent global challenges 🔹 A network that turns connections into collective action and real impact “You need a network that makes you feel you’re not alone — that gives you the courage to keep going.” The Hub is not only about support. It is about action: transforming shared experiences into coordinated efforts that advance gender equality, human rights and justice around the world. 🔗 Learn more about the Women Laureates Hub: https://rightlivelihood.org/what-we-d... 📅 Watch the full Award Presentation on our channel: • 2025 Right Livelihood Award Presentation
