UNANIMA is proud to announce that the recipient of our 2016 Woman of Courage Award is Meera Karunananthan! Meerawas
born in Sri Lanka and educated in Quebec, Canada, and is truly a global
citizen with a global conscience. Fearlessly, she led a two-year global
coalition for the human right to water to be named in the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development—there was no member state too big or small
for her to engage! Her campaign is lauded as one of the strongest
rights-based campaigns during the negotiations for a new sustainable
development agenda! Meera organizes the Council of Canadians’ public
access-to-water campaign, called the Blue Planet Project. She mobilizes
public opposition to privatization of water and bulk water exports while
organizing grassroots political movements in many countries. READ MORE.
