It is so heartwarming and inspiring to here from the award recipients – their stories of courage, strength, and determination. These champions for peace are often doing their work in the most challenging circumstances. And when we honor the awardees, we honor all women who have the vision and courage to build Peace in our world. You inspire us!

Awards Ceremony Keynote Speaker: Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury

As in the past, our 2025 Exceptional Women of Peace Awards Ceremony Keynote Speaker is Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury – a steadfast advocate for the role and leadership of Women, at the United Nations and beyond. Thank you, Ambassador!

September 13th is a significant date for our Exceptional Women of Peace Awards Ceremony.

September 13^th commemorates the passage of the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace Resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 13th in 1999: A/RES/53/243 – Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace 

Ambassador Chowdhury pioneered this landmark programme, and since has provided global leadership to advance a Culture of Peace.
