Child Rights Heroes
Our laureates have become role models for millions of children, and people all over the world find out about their work for children. The prize money helps thousands of the world’s most disadvantaged children to a better life. Children who have received support include those who have been sex slaves, bonded domestic workers, debt slaves, refugees, and children orphaned by genocide or AIDS.
