Yerevan /Mediamax/. Chelsea Clinton made a note about international Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, which will be first awarded on April 24 in Yerevan.
“Great to hear that Syeda Ghulam Fatima, 2015 Clinton Global Citizen Award winner, is now an AuroraPrize finalist!” wrote Chelsea Clinton, using official #AuroraPrize hashtag.
Syeda Ghulam Fatima is one of the four finalists of Aurora Prize.
She is the general secretary of the Bonded Labour Liberation Front Pakistan (BLLF). Owing to the organization’s efforts, thousands of people who were forced to work for brick kiln owners in order to repay debts were liberated, including 21,000 children. The interest rates are so high that those people in fact have to work their entire lives in extreme poverty and brutal conditions. Fatima has survived numerous attempts on her life and repeated physical abuse during the course of her activism.
Chelsea Clinton is a Board member of the Clinton Foundation and an active participant of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
She worked as a special correspondent at NBC in 2011-2013.
