Zuzana Stevulova, like all of us, has borne witness to the catastrophe unfolding in Syria and to the plight of the millions of refugees streaming from its ancient lands. But she hasn’t just spoken words about the crisis – she’s doing everything that she can to help. As chairperson of the Human Rights League in Slovakia, Zuzana is providing legal aid and services to migrants and refugees in administrative detention, expulsion, and asylum proceedings. In so doing, she reminds all of us that the true test of justice is its fairness to those who have the least.

Zuzana Stevulova, for your determination to stand up for the rights of refugees in Slovakia and supporting the integration of all and the full acceptance of migrant communities, we honor you as a woman of courage. (Applause.)
