As always, the event celebrated individuals and groups who work tirelessly to build a more peaceful, harmonious, inclusive, and diverse world.
This year, we also sought to highlight their commitment to fighting the pressing issues of our times such as racism and violence against women.
Congratulations to our incredible laureates. Your work is a true inspiration!
