GIWPS Awarded the Francesca Tardioli International Award
We are honored to announce that the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security has been awarded the Francesca Tardioli International Award from Sapienza University and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
GIWPS was recognized for our “significant and special contribution to the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda.”
This award holds special meaning. It is named in memory of the late H.E. Francesca Tardioli, a trailblazing Italian diplomat and a steadfast champion of UN Security Council Resolution 1325. Ambassador Tardioli’s career was defined by her commitment to multilateralism and her belief that sustainable peace is only possible when women are at the center of mediation and conflict resolution.
At GIWPS, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between evidence-based research and global policy. From our work on the Women, Peace and Security Index to our advocacy for women in peace processes from Afghanistan to Ukraine, we remain dedicated to the vision that Ambassador Tardioli championed.
As GIWPS Associate Professor and Gender Certificate Coordinator S Ayse Kadayifci- Orellana said when she accepted the award on behalf of GIWPS: “This award is not only about what has been achieved; it is about what must still be done. We dedicate this award to the women across the world who—often without recognition and under extraordinarily difficult circumstances—continue to hold communities together.”
We are grateful to our incredible team who makes this work possible.
