More wonderful news from GIRE!

Our fabulous executive director, María Luisa Sánchez Fuentes, was chosen by the Feminist Majority Foundation to be honored with the Eleanor Roosevelt Award. She was presented the award on May 7th, at the gala Global Awards event co-chaired by Mavis Nicholson Leno and Jay Leno.

The Feminist Majority Foundation awards this prize to a small number of individuals each year, in recognition of their fight for the rights of women and girls, and for their work to raise recognition of gender discrimination.

Other prestigious honorees that evening included Nafis Sadik, the former Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and current Special Adviser to the UN Secretary General and Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Asia; and Dr. Solomon Orero, a courageous Kenyan doctor who is fighting the US-imposed Global Gag rule.

We are exceedingly proud of María Luisa, and also very proud that GIRE’s effective work on abortion rights is being recognized by such an important body in the feminist movement.
