Supporting Organisations

Since 1985, the Right Livelihood Awards have been presented in the Swedish Parliament with the Speaker of Parliament participating. The host of this special evening is SÄRLA - the Association for the Right Livelihood Award in the Swedish Parliament, an all-party group of Swedish parliamentarians.

SÄRLA was launched in 1993 by Birgitta Hambraeus. Today's chair is Sven Bergström (c), vice-chair is Eva-Lena Jansson (s). In total, SÄRLA has some 70 members from 7 parties.

The support of these committed parliamentarians, which allows the Right Livelihood Award Foundation to hold the ceremony in the "Riksdagen", is invaluable and an expression of trust in its work and selection of awardees.

 

In 2007, five women founded the Right Livelihood Award Foundation Switzerland to support the Award.

Donations go to the Award and thus strengthen the work of its Laureates. For more information about how to donate, click here ...

Besides the financial support, the Swiss Foundation also organises events with Laureates and members of the Foundation, and works actively to make the Award and the Laureates better known in Switzerland

Annette Ringier, President
Dr. Charlotte von Koerber
Gitti Hug
