Reebok Human Rights Award

Reebok Human Rights Award

Reebok Human Rights Award honours activists under the age of 30 who fight for human rights through non-violent means. Each year, the award is given to four or five individuals. Each receives a grant of US$50,000 that must be used to support their human rights work. The awards are underwritten by the Reebok Foundation.

Youth from close to 40 countries have received the award since it was established in 1988.
