Actress and activist Rose McGowan has become the first female recipient of the inspiration prize at this year's GQ Men of the Year Awards.
The Charmed star, who was one of the first women to speak out against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, said it feels "pretty special" to be honoured with the prize.
She told the Press Association: "It's really nice to be recognised for the years of behind-the-scenes work that I've done and some in front of the scenes.
"But I simply come as representative for those who don't have voices and I feel like I stand in for them, so if I feel like I'm being honoured, it's they who are being honoured."
McGowan, who has been credited as a leading force behind the #MeToo movement, revealed on the red carpet that she has had to sell her home to pay legal fees.
When asked if she had found a sense of peace or justice, she replied: "My book that I wrote, Brave, was really about working through a lot of that stuff and getting to a place of peace.
"I believe peace is there for me on the horizon, I have to."
She added that she was confident that "people pay their dues one way or another".
