The Reebok Human Rights Award recognizes young activists who have made significant contributions to human rights causes through nonviolent means. The Award aims to generate positive international attention for recipients and to support their efforts. Since 1988, more than 60 recipients from over 35 countries have received the award. Honorees, who are 30 years of age or younger, receive a $50,000 grant from the Reebok Human Rights Foundation to further their work. Nominees are submitted from around the world by prominent individuals in the human rights community and by non-governmental organizations.  Recipients are selected by the Reebok Human Rights Board of Advisors. Their efforts have been responsible for inspiring action in others who have been moved by their incredible stories. Pictured here are 2002 awardees Maili Lama, Malika Sanders, and Kavwumbu Hackachima.
