@@@@@@@@@@@ THE FELIPA AWARD
@@@@@@@@@@@ DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS EXTENDED: NOVEMBER 15/00
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission presents
@@@ The Felipa Award
This award is named in honor of Felipa de Souza, a Brazilian woman
convicted and tortured by the Portuguese Inquisition in 1591 for
having sexual relationships with other women.
@@@ Purpose of the Award and General Guidelines
IGLHRC awards three prizes that will honor individuals and/or
organizations that have made significant contributions toward
securing the human rights and freedoms of sexual minorities anywhere
in the world. Award recipients will be honored at an annual
springtime event in the US. Through this award, we hope to offer
public recognition to a wide array of individuals and organizations
who have had to work without support in the struggle for the human
rights of sexual minorities. To this end, we seek nominations from
all regions of the world, from those utilizing various political
strategies, and from as wide a range of communities as possible. We
define sexual minorities to include lesbians, bisexuals, gay men,
transvestites, transsexuals, and others oppressed due to their sexual
orientation or sexual conduct between consenting adults.
@@@ Nomination Process
Nominations may be made by anyone. Persons or organizations may
nominate themselves. An individual can be nominated posthumously. If
possible, nominations should be submitted in English, although we can
accept nominations in most languages. Nominations should include a
letter of nomination, two or three letters of support, and any
supporting materials such as newspaper clippings, photographs,
videos, or other descriptions of the candidate's work. For
organizations, please include: mission statements, brochures,
newsletters, and other publications. Nominations may be faxed.
Decisions will be made by the Board of Directors of IGLHRC, in
consultation with the International Advisory Board and the staff.
Please include a self-addressed envelope so that IGLHRC can send you
a confirmation that we have received your nomination. If you do not
receive a confirmation by December 7/00, this may mean that your
nomination did not reach us in time to be considered for this year's
awards.
Deadline for nominations extended: November 15, 2000
Completed nomination form should be sent to:
