The prize is awarded to a person or organisation that has advanced gender equality in a global-ly significant way. The recipient will then forward the money to a cause or organisation that will strengthen gender equality.
The first prize in 2017 was awarded to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is one of the most influential women in the world and a role model for many women and girls. In 2019 the prize was awarded to Equality Now, an organisation that defends the rights of women world-wide.
