It seems particularly poignant in the wake of the landmark decision by an ECOWAS (West African) regional court ruling that the government of Niger had failed to protect a young woman who'd been sold into slavery at age 12. ? (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/28/world/africa/28niger.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin) ? Brian Farenell FOG Communications Director ? ? Free the Slaves writes: Free the Slaves works to end slavery, once and for all, throughout the world.? In 2009, we shall be giving our second annual Freedom Awards to individuals and community-based groups that are engaged in this struggle. Winners of the Awards are nominated by those who know their work, or by themselves.? General information is available in French, Spanish and English, although the application forms themselves need to be submitted in English. Would you please circulate the link below to all Friends of Guinea members?? They are invited to notify and nominate appropriate candidates and, if need be, to assist them in filling out the forms.? The link may also be forwarded to any contacts in Benin for them to identify other candidates. In 2008, some candidates were nominated by more than one source. Duplication does not enhance or diminish the chances of winning an award. www.freetheslaves.net offers both information on the 2008 winners, and access to the 2009 nomination forms.? A French explanation is provided (with some regrettable -- that we hope are disarming -- typos). The deadline for nominations is December 1. I will be glad to answer any questions by email or phone.? Thank you for helping to identify possible recipients from Guinea for these prestigious awards . ?
