The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) hosted our annual Hillary Rodham Clinton Awards Ceremony this week @georgetownuniversity.
Our executive director, Ambassador Melanne Verveer, opened the ceremony reminding everyone that economies grow and nations prosper when women are given the opportunity to participate.
“It is an evidence-based case that our world cannot get ahead if it leaves half of its population behind,” Verveer said.
Secretary @hillaryclinton joined us to honor leaders who are advancing economic opportunities for women worldwide.
This year’s awardees include director of @sewa_sangathan Reema Nanavaty, founder of the @toryburchfoundation @toryburch, and Nobel laureate @professormuhammadyunus. @munamartinon, board chair of @microfundforwomen, Jordan’s largest non-profit microfinance institution, received our inaugural Georgetown Ambassadors Award.
“When doors of opportunity open to women, when educational pathways open to women, when societies and governments recognize the critical role women can play in lifting the economic base of an entire country, it makes a huge difference,” said Secretary Clinton.
Congratulations to our 2026 awardees. We were honored to celebrate your commitment to economic empowerment and dedication to creating a more peaceful world.

A powerful celebration of leaders who are turning their commitment to women’s economic empowerment into meaningful action. When women have the resources, opportunities, and support to succeed, the impact extends far beyond the individual.
