2003 Laureate in the Equality category and cash prize recipient, called The
Tech Museum Awards"...a truly remarkable program that has given WITNESS
acclaim for using technology to document human rights abuses. I was deeply
honored to be recognized along with 24 other innovators from around the
world who are working to improve human life through technology. The
exposure generated from receiving this award and the $50,000 cash prize
will surely lead to expanded services, awareness, and improved solutions for
