The Stella Soulioti Human Rights Award was established in 2021 to honour the multifaceted personality and legacy of Stella Soulioti, who inspired future generations in Cyprus.
The Award is presented annually to a person or Non-Governmental Organization for their outstanding contribution to the struggle for the defence of human rights in Cyprus.
The Human Rights Award Evaluation Committee decided to award the "Stella Soulioti" Award for the year 2022 to Mrs. Androulla Christofidou Henriques and "Cyprus STOP Trafficking" which she founded.
Ms Christofidou founded, as her legacy, "Cyprus STOP Trafficking", with the aim of abolishing the so-called "artistic visa", trying to address violations against human dignity and supporting victims of trafficking in persons.
15 years later, "Cyprus STOP Trafficking" continues its work, supporting victims of trafficking in persons in a practical way, while promoting zero tolerance of trafficking in persons.
The award will be presented at a special ceremony to be held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in January for which an announcement will be made.
