Huda Al-Sarari is a lawyer and human rights defender, providing legal support to victims of human rights violations in war-torn Yemen through her foundation, Defense for Rights and Freedoms. 

Always passionate about the struggle for human rights, justice, and equality, she has devoted nearly a decade to activism, focusing on arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, and extrajudicial killings. She has worked in collaboration with numerous local and international human rights organizations. 

In 2017, she played a pivotal role in uncovering a secret prison network in Yemen, where detainees were subjected to torture and ill-treatment. Her efforts helped draw international attention to the issue and led to the release of more than 260 illegally detained individuals. 

Huda previously served on the legal team of the Yemeni Women's Union, advocating for the rights of women and girls and providing legal support to incarcerated women. She continues to work toward a future governed by the rule of law in Yemen. 

In 2020, Huda Al-Sarari received the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders.
