Join members of the Elliott School of International Affairs and the Gender Equality Initiative in International Affairs to help recognize the 2019 Secretary of State International Women of Courage (IWOC) awardees.

This award honors women who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength, and leadership in acting to improve the lives of others. It is an extraordinary opportunity to bring international attention and support to women who have put their lives and/or personal safety at risk in order to improve their communities. Through IWOC, now in its thirteenth year, the U.S. Department of State has honored over 120 courageous women from more than 60 countries.

This panel, hosted at The Elliott School, will be comprised of three 2019 IWOC awardees in conversation with Ambassador Reuben Brigety, Dean of the Elliott School. We invite the public to hear about these courageous women's experiences and interact with them through a Q&A.
