Agami Prize recognizes innovative ideas that serve justice. Ideas that are backed by entrepreneurs who are paving the way for more of us to participate in making justice. A Nationaltrafficking survivors collective, Indian Leaders Forum Against Trafficking (ILFAT) wins Idea Prize 2022 under Agami Prize 2022 for their work in enabling survivors to be leaders for the sector. ILFAT is reclaiming space in policy and advocacy through the lens of a survivor and building awareness and mitigating stigma through media and popular narratives.
In the 3nd edition of Agami Prize, the team reviewed 648 nominations and shortlisted 50 after an exhaustive research and interview process. 14 finalists were selected after another round of interviews with the founders / team members & field visits.
The 14 finalists were then brought before a grand jury made up of eminent persons across India. After several rounds of analysis and interviews, the grand jury submitted its winners for this year’s Agami Prize 2022. In context to the ideas they were looking for, Arun Maira, former member of Planning Commission of India and former Chairman (India) of Boston Consulting Group said: “We call them “beneficiaries”, but what if they could be the motif force for change itself. It is a free resource – that’s the one thing that we have – our own energy and passion to make change.”
