In 2015, Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation (GWPF) created the Global Woman Awards, a way to give recognition and honor to women, men and students who dedicate their time to the campaign against female genital mutilation (FGM) and other injustices on women and girls.
The organization began by recognizing women in 2015, who use their talents and professional attributes to help in the campaign to end FGM. Then in 2016 GWPF awarded the first man, Godfrey Williams-Okorodus for using this art work to advocate against FGM. In the same year, the Global Woman Awards recognized the first student, Amani DeShield for introducing the campaign against FGM to her Middle School in Hagerstown, Maryland in the U.S. This category, Student Ambassador was created to encourage students to become involved in the campaign against FGM. The second man, Virginia State Senator Richard H. Black was recognized last year for his diligence in criminalizing FGM in his state. Last year in 2017, the organization created a special international Nominating Committee, Chaired by their Vice President, Amie Jallah to nominate and cast votes for the award recipients. The Nominating Committee is comprised of award recipients from previous years. The committee is responsible for vetting and nominating individuals who have exemplified performance in the campaign against FGM.
Starting this year, the Global Woman Awards will not disclose the winners in the ten categories until the evening of October 26, 2018. However the Nominating Committee is announcing the 2018 nominees now, to give the public an opportunity to visit the website and read about their distinguished 2018 nominees. The committee will submit their individual votes in the next two weeks.
The votes will be counted by one appointed committee member who did not submit any nominations. That member is the neutral member, whose only role is to count the votes, and submit the results to the Chair and Co-Chair of the committee. The winners will be sealed and saved until the evening of October 26th. The organization is thrilled to have such a committee in place.
Some of the awards recipients in 2015 were Dr. Marci Bowers, Shelby Quast, Jaha Dukureh, Fatoumata Kande, Hibo Wardere, Martha Allen, F.A. Cole and a few others. In 2016, some of the awardees were Susan Masling, Kristin Hoffmann, Diane Walsh, Elisabeth Wilson, Hilary Burrage, Missy Crutchfield, Susan Gibbs, Andrea Roane, Sherelle Carper, Godfrey Williams-Okorodus and others. The 2017 winners were Dr. Pierre Foldes, Frederique Martz, Edna Adan, Mariya Taher, Senator Richard Black, Linda Weil-Curiel, Tobe Levin, Arifa Nasim and Maggie O’Kane.
