Own view:

This award is more than just an award for those who support and aid those who have been abused. It highlights the importance of journalists and that they do more than just report on news, they actually help people. This furthers the point that journalists should be known for the work they do and people should pay them for the hard work they put in to saving other peoples lives, whether it is through paper or in person.
