SUMMARY:Global Social with International Women of Courage
DESCRIPTION:Global Minnesota is proud to host the following two recipients of this year’s U.S. Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award. \n\nYezidi activist and gynecologist\, Dr. Nagham Nawzat Hasan from Iraq\, has dedicated her career to promoting equality for women\, combating gender-based violence\, and providing psychological support to survivors. Since the 2014 takeover of the city of Sinjar by Da’esh\, resulting in the massacre of thousands of Yezidi men and the enslavement of Yezidi women\, Dr. Hasan has focused her efforts on rescuing and assisting Yezidi girls traumatized by Da’esh.  Responding to the humanitarian crisis\, Dr. Hasan was one of the first physicians to provide psychological counseling and health screenings to freed and escaped girls.  Today\, she regularly visits Internally Displaced Persons camps with large Yezidi populations to conduct outreach and encourage parents to allow their daughters to visit her clinic for basic health care and psychosocial support.\nMinister of Legal Affairs\, Dr. Nihal Naj Ali Al-Awlaqi from Yemen\, has served as Yemen’s Minister of Legal Affairs since her appointment in January 2016. She also is a member of the Republic of Yemen Government’s delegation to the peace talks and is a lawyer by training. Previously\, she was a member of the Constitutional Drafting Committee where she worked to ensure that women’s rights and interests were integrated into a new draft constitution\, and advocated for greater access to education for Yemen’s young people. Dr. Al-Awlaqi also served as one of the key women’s representatives in the National Dialogue Conference and has worked as a legal advisor to the Women’s Center for Training at the University of Aden. During one of the most challenging times in Yemen’s history\, Dr. Al-Awlaqi serves as a unifying voice for peace\, human rights and women’s rights and a more democratic future for her country.\n\nJoin us for the opportunity to meet these extraordinary women and learn about the change they are implementing across the globe. \nEstablished in 2007\, the annual U.S. Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award honors women around the globe who have exemplified exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for human rights\, women’s equality\, and social progress\, often at great personal risk. This is the only Department of State award that pays tribute to emerging women leaders worldwide. \nThis event is made possible by a generous gift in honor of Katherine W. Merriam. \nPhoto credit: U.S. Department of State

SUMMARY:Global Conversations: Migration
DESCRIPTION:As a record number of migrants cross the Mediterranean Sea\, seeking refuge in Europe\, the continent is struggling to come up with an adequate response. Although Europe’s refugees are largely fleeing conflicts in Syria\, Iraq and parts of Africa\, their struggle is hardly unique. Today\, with the number of displaced people at an all-time high\, a number of world powers find themselves facing a difficult question: how can they balance border security with humanitarian concerns? More importantly\, what can they do to resolve these crises so as to limit the number of displaced persons? \nJoin us for an important conversation on this timely topic\, with Dr. Bruce Corrie\, Associate Vice President for University Relations and International Programs\, and Professor of Economics at Concordia University. \nLongtime Concordia University faculty member\, Dr. Corrie is well known in the community for his work on the economic contributions of immigrants and minorities and his research has been featured in the national and local media. He has served on the board of several national\, state and local public and nonprofit boards and has helped develop foreign study programs in India\, China\, and Mexico. \nDr. Corrie’s travels have taken him to 25 countries and five continents. He has a doctorate in economics from the University of Notre Dame.
