Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to Georgetown to present the 2024 Hillary Rodham Clinton Awards to women whose work is making the world more peaceful and stable.
“Melanne Verveer and I founded the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, and these awards, more than a decade ago to recognize the importance of women’s participation and leadership in global peacebuilding, reflected Clinton. “I keep waiting for the year when that mission feels less urgent. It’s certainly not this year.”
This year’s awardees included women who served as heads of state and government in Lithuania, Estonia and Australia alongside Palestinian and Israeli peacebuilders.
