The DVF Awards pay tribute to women “who have demonstrated the courage to fight, the strength to survive and the leadership to inspire,” per a press release.

Deputy-Secretary General; Helena Gualinga, an environmental and human rights defender; Dr. Joy Buolamwini, a founder of the Algorithmic Justice League; and Lilly Singh, an actress, writer and advocate.
“My mother always taught me that in times of darkness I should look for the light. These women are the light,” said von Furstenberg in a statement.
George and Amal also started theClooney Foundation for Justice, which focuses on human rights issues.
A grant will be given to each of the DVF Leadership Awards honorees for an organization they support.
