Jennifer Robinson will be in Sydney to accept the award from Lord Mayor Clover Moore at the Sydney Peace Prize Lecture and Award Ceremony at Sydney Town Hall.
Full program details will be released in the coming months.
Tickets available from Humanitix.
The 2026 Sydney Peace Prize will be awarded to Jennifer Robinson “for her unwavering commitment to international law and her dedication to upholding and promoting human rights including free speech, press freedom, and gender and climate justice."
Jennifer Robinson is an internationally renowned human rights lawyer, barrister, author, and advocate, acclaimed for her key work in human rights and media freedom cases worldwide. As legal counsel to Julian Assange, she worked to secure his release in 2024, and has represented countries, social movements, and individuals before international courts and the United Nations. Jen has fought for accountability, challenging unlawful actions against journalists, pursuing climate justice, and supporting human rights in West Papua. A consistent advocate for women’s rights, she has spoken out against the silencing of women by the legal system – a topic she explores in her co-authored book How Many More Women? and the newly released documentary Silenced.
