SÄRLA
Launched in 1993 by the then MP Birgitta Hambraeus (Center Party), SÄRLA – the Association for the Right Livelihood Award in the Swedish Parliament – is a group of Swedish parliamentarians from seven parties. From 1985 until 2015, the Right Livelihood Award was presented at the Parliament with SÄRLA being the host. In recent years, it has hosted seminars with new Laureates in the Parliament and has been part of discussions with previous Laureates. The support from these MPs is important to the Laureates and is an expression of trust in Right Livelihood's work.
Parliamentary Group in the German Bundestag
In 2016, the parliamentary group “Alternativer Nobelpreis” was founded by German parliamentarians from five different political parties. The group has since hosted several Laureates in the German parliament, where they have been given the opportunity to address politicians and other decision-makers. More recently, parliamentarians from the group expressed their strong support to 2020 Laureate Nasrin Sotoudeh in the social media awareness campaign #StandUp4Nasrin.
