Jeangu Macrooy presents the award for Freedom from Fear to Grace Forrest, the Australian founder of Walk Free, an international human rights group focused on the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms.

Singer and songwriter Jeangu Macrooy feels deeply involved in the issue of slavery. His songs ‘Gold’ and ‘Birth Of A New Age’, with which he represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision song festival in 2021, dealt with this topic. In 2023, he gave a series of Freedom Lectures on the abolition of slavery 150 years ago, and the huge impact that the Dutch history of slave-trading still has today for many people of colour.
