The Peace Prize jury selected Jen from a highly distinguished field of candidates for her unwavering commitment to international law and her dedication to upholding and promoting human rights, including free speech, press freedom, and gender and climate justice.
Jennifer's fearless defence of human rights and international law shows that even in the face of powerful opposition, justice can prevail.
At a time when democratic norms and international law are under increasing pressure, her work offers both clarity and hope that the rule of law remains one of our strongest tools for building a fairer world and that principled advocacy can change the course of history.
As Australia’s only international award for peace, the Sydney Peace Prize recognises those who make a profound contribution to justice and equality, and this year’s laureate exemplifies that mission in every sense.
