SUMMARY:International Women of Courage: Honoring the 2023 Awardees
DESCRIPTION:The International Women of Courage Award given by the U.S. Secretary of State recognizes extraordinary women from around the world who have demonstrated exceptional courage\, strength\, and leadership in advocating for peace\, justice\, human rights\, gender equity\, and the empowerment of women and girls\, in all their diversity\, often at great personal risk and sacrifice. Since the inception of the International Women of Courage Award in March 2007\, the U.S. Department of State has recognized more than 170 women from over 80 countries. \nOn March 14\, 2023\, the Cleveland Council on World Affairs will welcome two of the 2023 honorees to share their stories and help us mark International Women’s Day by recognizing the incredible work that they are leading in their respective countries. \nProfessor Danièle Darlan\, the former President of the Central African Republic’s Constitutional Court\, has earned the title of an International Woman of Courage for her defense of her nation’s constitution\, her heroism in safeguarding judicial independence\, and her refusal to be influenced by threats or political pressure. \nSenator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi has spent most of her professional life advancing and promoting human rights\, selflessly advocating for vulnerable populations and using her platforms to shed light on injustices in Malaysian society.  Ras Adiba also became a national Paralympic sharpshooter and earned a spot in the Malaysian Book of Records for ‘wheeling’ 420km in 13 days from Johor Bharu to Putrajaya in her wheelchair. \nPlease note that the event will be partially in French with English interpretation. \nThis event is sold out.

SUMMARY:Lessons from the Edge: Ukraine in Crisis | A Luncheon Event
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on the events that led to her removal as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine in 2019\, Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch has a stark but hopeful story to tell of the dedication of foreign service officers and her own career. Moving up through the ranks of the State Department\, Yovanovitch leveraged her intelligence and work ethic to arrive at the post of Ambassador to Ukraine in 2016. Her endeavors to encourage democracy\, support anti-corruption efforts\, and advance U.S. interests and values in Ukraine no doubt left a lasting impression that continues to inform the policies of a country now under direct military attack. Please join us for a special luncheon and book signing event with the ambassador. \nBooks will be available at the event for purchase through a partnership with Visible Voice Books. Please consider pre-ordering your book as 15% of proceeds from pre-sales will be donated to Cleveland Council on World Affairs. To order your book in advance\, please click here.  \n—

SUMMARY:Centennial Civic Forum
DESCRIPTION:The results of the 2021 Global Cities Report by A.T. Kearney\, a global consulting firm\, showed that the cities with the greatest global connectivity were best positioned for post-pandemic recovery because their international character and connections increased their resiliency and helped these cities rebuild and adapt to a changed environment. \nThis forum’s purpose is to deepen our shared understanding of how being a globally connected city benefits Cleveland across sectors\, and to discuss opportunities to strengthen our international engagement.
