Physicians for Human Rights Annual Gala

The Fourth Annual Physicians for Human Rights Gala honors the work of health professionals working on the front lines to defend human rights. It supports our work fighting for justice, advocating for persecuted health workers and health facilities under attack, preventing torture, sexual violence, and mass atrocities, and holding those who violate human rights accountable.
