Annual human rights awards were presented on 9 December

Currently, there are over 400 court rulings against the unlawful denials by the Agency for Social Assistance (ASA) to grant child social welfare benefits to Ukrainian citizens under temporary protection in Bulgaria. These findings come from the Legal Protection Program for Refugees and Migrants at the BHC, and they contrast with the statements from the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy publically promoting its support for Ukrainian refugees.

Nominations for the 17th annual human rights awards “Human of the Year” are now being accepted until November 15th. Anyone can nominate citizens, volunteers, activists and organizations whose work in the past year has contributed to the affirmation of human rights, animal protection and nature conservation in Bulgaria. You can nominate by filling in the nomination form on the awards website or by mailing it to the following address: 7 Varbitsa Street, Sofia 1504, for BHC.
