Nivedita Prasad - 10 Years Anne Klein Women’s Award

Prof. Dr. Nivedita Prasad, Berlin, Germany: The first recipient of the Anne Klein Women's Award was honoured in 2012 for her tireless work for legal security for all people, regardless of skin colour, gender and religion, and against racism. Prasad tackles taboo topics such as "modern" slavery and labour exploitation with a focus on women in "household-related services". Against all odds, she and her fellow campaigners in the counselling centre "Ban Ying" set standards for the legal recognition and compensation of victims and for the prosecution of perpetrators. With the Anne Klein Women’s Award, the Heinrich Böll Foundation honors women who courageously and persistently stand up for human rights, equal rights and sexual self-determination.
