Sudanese women’s activist Amira Osman Hamed has won a Front Line Defenders Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk, the organisation announced Friday.
Osman “never deterred from her mission,” Dublin-based Front Line Defenders said in its awards announcement, “consistently for democracy, human rights, and women’s rights.” In 2009 she established “No to Women Oppression”, an initiative to advocate against the much-derided Public Order Law. It was finally repealed in 2019 after Bashir’s ouster following a mass uprising.
A crackdown on civilian pro-democracy figures has followed, with at least 96 people killed in protests and hundreds detained.
Nice one and Congratulations to her 🎉💐🎊
