Trust Women Awards

The Trust Women Awards honour exceptional individuals who have raised awareness and provided real solutions to the challenges faced by women worldwide.

The Trust Women Hero Award celebrates an innovator whose bold thinking and high-impact work has helped women defend and advance their rights. Nominations are made by the public: last year, we received 160 outstanding nominations from over 50 countries. Candidates are judged based on their leadership and the innovation, impact and scalability of their work.

The 2015 Hero Award winner will be selected by our prestigious Trust Women Advisory Board and receive a cash prize of $5,000 to further their work. They will also be acknowledged with profiles on the Thomson Reuters Foundation and Trust Women Conference websites. The winner will be unveiled at an evening ceremony at the Trust Women Conference in London on 17 November.

In 2015 Trust Women will present the Trust Women Anti-Trafficking Hero Award. The new Award will recognise an exceptional individual from the frontlines who has made significant progress in the fight against human trafficking.
