Nominations for The Freedom Awards 2019 Now Open

The Initiative for Equal Rights is pleased to recognize and award the efforts of individuals and organizations in Human Rights Activism in Nigeria with The Freedom Awards 2019.

The Freedom Awards were created to honour individuals, organizations, agencies or brands who are working to create an equal society free from discrimination and marginalization. The first Freedom Awards and Gala event will be held in 2019. With this event, we hope to bring together individuals, organizations and other partners who are working together and separately to champion the cause for equality and human rights in their various fields in Nigeria. It will also be a platform for connecting, networking and celebrating the successes made so far.

The various categories aim to honour individuals, organizations, agencies or brands who are working to create an equal society free from discrimination and marginalization.

However, we need your help with nominating those who are deserving in the three categories below. Please read each category carefully, and ensure that the person you are nominating qualifies. Nominees must be living and doing work in Nigeria.
