AWARDS

Social Justice presented by the Charter for Compassion
and the Empathy and Compassion in Society Conference.
MONIQUE WILSON
One Billion Rising Global Director, was honored at the Global Filipina
Women’s Network (FWN) Awards in Manila on 8 October 2014 with
the “NICOLE” award. This award honors Filipina women whose words,
actions and activism inspire others to act and revolutionize society’s
way of understanding traditional beliefs and customs thus leaving
behind a Filipina global imprint. “Nicole”, who sparked an international
dialogue about women’s rights, national sovereignty, and international
law as she steadfastly pursued justice against her rapist, a US marine,
inspires this category.
