Since 2017, women in Lichtenberg who are committed to the rights of women and girls, gender equality, or human rights have been honored with the district’s Women’s Award. Nominations for award recipients and projects, along with a brief explanation, may be submitted to the Equal Opportunity Officer. A jury chaired by the District Mayor decides on the award. The jury consists of representatives from women’s projects, the Lichtenberg Business Association, universities, the Community Foundation, the District Sports Association, the Senior Citizens’ Council, the District Committee for Equality and Inclusion, and the Equal Opportunity Officer. The prize is endowed with 500 euros, and since 2019, the winners have also received a sculpture.
