> > recipients with a

> > $50,000 grant from the Reebok Human Rights

> > Foundation for the human

> > Members of the international community of human

> > They cannot advocate violence or belong to an

> > organization that

> > advocates violence, and they must be working on an

> > issue that directly

> > relates to the United Nations' "Universal

> > Declaration of Human Rights."

> > Women and men of all races, ethnic groups,

> > nationalities, and religious

> > backgrounds are eligible.

> > Past Reebok award recipients have been recognized

> > for their work on such

> > issues as: fighting for Native American land

> rights;

> > protesting human

> > rights abuses in Tibet; battling racial bias in

> the

> > death penalty in the

> > United States; protecting the rights of ethnic

> > minorities in Burma;

> > monitoring human rights abuses in Nigeria; and

> > rescuing child

> > The award has had remarkable impact on the work of

> > past recipients. For

> > example, when he received his Reebok Human Rights

> > Award in 1995, Richard

> > Nsanzabaganwa had been facing a personal dilemma,

> > whether to continue

> > his human rights work in war-torn Rwanda, where

> > nearly all of his family

> > members had been killed in a massacre the previous

> > year.  "After

> > receiving the award," Richard says, "I realized

> that

> > people should not

> > belong to themselves, but should belong to others.

> > The award has helped

> > to push me to go forward."

> > Application materials are provided on the website.
