IN SOLIDARITY
Every day we’re rocked with a new, more devastating headline about another man who has abused his power to violate women’s most fundamental rights. These stories are finally bringing to light how pervasive sexual harassment and violence against women truly is. But there’s another side to this story, being written by men who refuse to stay silent and are taking action to chip away at this epidemic. And every year, we honor a select few with the Solidarity Award. Learn more about this year’s Honorees: Ronan Farrow, David Schwimmer, Jackson Katz, Chris Nassetta and Salman Sufi.
