Jenni Murray hosts an evening of entertainment and celebration of women’s achievements in the fight for justice against human rights abuses of women and children. This year’s award and fundraising event will take place at La Tasca, tapas restaurant, Islington on Thursday 28th October 6.30pm till late.
The Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize (EHMP) is a commemorative prize awarded annually to a woman or group, who through their writing or campaigning, have raised awareness of violence against women and children. Emma Humphreys (30 October 1967-11July 1998) was a writer and campaigner whose struggle for justice and freedom inspired many. Emma’s case created a legal precedent that has helped many abused women as her successful appeal in 1995 led to a change in the law on provocation.
