KIM KARDASHIAN RECEIVES HUMANITARIAN AWARD FOR PRISON REFORM ADVOCACY

Kim Kardashian is once again proving that her influence extends far beyond the world of entertainment and fashion. At the prestigious Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) Awards in Venice, the reality star and business mogul was honored with the Humanitarian Award for her groundbreaking work in criminal justice and prison reform.

The award was presented by Chris Young, whose story stands as a testament to the impact of Kardashian’s advocacy. Young was sentenced to life in prison at the age of 22 for a nonviolent drug offense—a punishment many deemed excessive and unjust.

In 2018, Kardashian brought national attention to Young’s case, advocating tirelessly for clemency and reforming harsh sentencing laws. Her efforts helped secure his release in 2019 under President Donald Trump’s administration.

Speaking at the event, Young expressed deep gratitude, noting that Kardashian didn’t just change his circumstances—she gave him a second chance at life.

The DVF Awards, established by fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, celebrate women who are making extraordinary humanitarian contributions around the world.

Kardashian joins a list of previous honorees who have championed social justice, equality, and human rights.

This recognition cements Kardashian’s growing legacy as more than a pop culture figure—she is becoming a leading voice for reform, compassion, and systemic change.
