2015 Asia Democracy and Human Rights Award Laureate

Ms. Sunita Danuwar

sunita danuwar

The 2015 Asia Democracy and Human Rights Award goes to Ms. Sunita Danuwar of Nepal. Ms. Sunita Danuwar, a leading social activist in Nepal, was once a victim of human trafficking. Yet, she turns her mischiefs into strong advocates for girls suffering the same fate. She is the founding member and current president of Shakti Samuha, the first non-governmental organization sheltering survivors from human trafficking in Nepal. Instead of being as a victim, Ms. Danuwar chooses to tell her story with incredible brevity to raise awareness on human trafficking prevention. She became the leader of Shakti Samuha in 2000 and assisted the Shakti Samuha won the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2013.
