William Hague, leader of the House of Commons and former foreign minister of Great Britain, HRH Princess Mabel van Oranje, chair of Girls Not Brides, and Monique Villa, chief executive officer of the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

 

The Champions for Change Awards are arranged by the international organization International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW), which via research works to spread knowledge about the circumstances for women and the challenges to achieving equal rights, economic stability and equal access to participation in society for the use of, among others, decision-makers.
