The Albie Awards add a new dimension to our work at CFJ: they are a way to shine a protective light on the many courageous individuals who, at great personal risk, have devoted their lives to justice.

Alfateh “Oumda” Younous Haroun accepted the Justice for Survivors Award on behalf of iAct for its work alongside survivors of genocide and other mass atrocities. iACT worked with the Clooney Foundation for Justice to interview survivors from Darfur, Sudan, who have been trapped in refugee camps in Chad for over a decade. Using this evidence, Amal Clooney represented over 100 survivors in a trial of a militia leader at the International Criminal Court. In 2021, iAct’s founders, Gabriel Stauring and Katie-Jay Scott passed away in a tragic accident in 2021.

This award was presented by Dua Lipa and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Nadia Murad.
