The Right Livelihood Award was awarded on Thursday to three activists from the Palestinian territories, the Philippines and Mozambique and to a UK pioneering research agency who “have each made a profound impact on their communities and the global stage”.

“Their unwavering commitment to speaking out against forces of oppression and exploitation, while strictly adhering to non-violent methods, resonates far beyond their communities,” the Stockholm-based foundation said about the laureates.
