George and Amal Clooney they exuded Hollywood glamor and impressed with their appearance at the Albie Awards in New York. The prizes Albie they are organized by the Clooney Foundation For Justice, which awards them to “courageous defenders of justice, who are at great risk for what they do.”

They were named after Judge Albie Sachs, an internationally renowned South African jurist who was imprisoned and then exiled for his activism against the apartheid regime.

The history of the South African state is very closely linked to the institutionalized policy of apartheid, a policy more commonly known as the policy of racial discrimination. In essence, however, it was something much worse, a policy of racial segregation. The paradox of it was that, while most policies of discrimination are related to the existence of minorities in the territory of a state and the oppression of a minority by the ruling majority, in the case of apartheid the opposite was the case: the majority of South Africans, who did not they came from the European settlers, they were oppressed by the minority of citizens of European origin.

The Foundation awarded a Ukrainian NGO, a Congolese activist who “fought” for women’s rights and rape, and two Iranian journalists who uncovered the story of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian woman who was murdered for not wearing the hijab properly her. The officers who arrested her beat her violently until the young woman had to be taken to the hospital, fell into a coma and eventually died.

For her latest red carpet look, Amal opted for a white sequined dress that had a little train. Her husband, George Clooney, wore a classic tuxedo while being extra affectionate with his wife.
