For 17 years, the Lantos Human Rights Prize has honored human rights champions, drawing attention to human rights violations around the world and helping to encourage governments to prioritize human rights in foreign policy decisions. This year, the Prize was awarded to Diane Foley and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, two courageous mothers who turned their personal tragedy and loss into action and advocacy to free hostages around the world. | Lantos Foundation for Human Rights & Justice
