Never heard of her until now.

No, we hadn't heard of her either.

However, she seems like an amazing young woman who has brought about a big change and deserves the award.

Having said that, all nominees deserved the honour - just as amazing in different ways.

me neither but hearing her story and seeing her talk about her life as a child,she is one very brace woman and a very worthy recipient.

Not entirely. In the case of Grace Tame, it means that a lot of people who, like me, had never heard of her will now know her story, have a chance to think about the horror she endured and, hopefully,  join her in her efforts to make sure no other child will ever have to suffer as she did.

I listened to her being interviewed on radio this morning. She's very impressive,spoke well, and with conviction.

I loved her line "It's not about shaming the individual, it's about shaming that kind of behaviour"
