"Dear Friends,
On the occasion of the Fourteenth edition of Global Leadership Awards organized by the international organization Vital Voices on 16 June, I had the honor to receive the Vital Voices Vanguard Award in 2015
along with four other extraordinary women namely Yin Myo Su contractor
Myanmar (Burma), anthropologist and Pakistani filmmaker Samar Minallah
Khan, the Tunisian activist Amira Yahyaoui and the Guatemalan
entrepreneur Karla Ruiz Cofiño.
We were all 5 rewarded for the work done every day and our efforts to drive sustainable change within our communities.
I had the extreme honor to receive my award from Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
This edition of Global Leadership Awards held Tuesday, June 16, 2015 was attended by several personalities including
former US President Bill Clinton, Susan Davis (president of the
organization Vital Voices), Donna Langlen (Universal Picture CEO) the
actress Sally Field, Bill Burns (President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace), the Ambassador Melanne Verveer and designer Diane Von Furstenberg among others.
I
would like for that purpose, to express once again my profound
gratitude to the organization Vital Voices for bringing to light the
world, the work we do every day in our communities.
And finally a special thank you to all of you who accompany me and support me every day. "
