Women are playing a critical role in Humanitarian Response


Five trailblazing women – a nun, an activist, a social entrepreneur, a volunteer aid worker, and an advocate for ending statelessness – are being honoured today as winners of the 2024 UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Established in 1954, the UNHCR Nansen Award honours individuals, groups and organizations who have taken extraordinary action to protect refugees, as well as internally displaced and stateless people. The ceremony will be live-streamed on UNHCR's YouTube channel at 19:30 CEST.
