VOICES FROM THE FIELDTHE IRC BLOG

IRC's Heidi Lehmann honored for her work keeping women safe

 

"In the most violent areas of conflict ... Heidi Lehmann ... is charged with assuring the safety of women and girls. When she is on the scene, she finds she must spend hours convincing whoever is in charge that keeping women and girls safe in emergencies is as essential as providing food, water and shelter."
 
- Women's E-News, recognizing the International Rescue Committee's director of women's protection and empowerment, Heidi Lehmann, as one of "21 leaders for the 21st century."
 
Congratulations to Heidi and the other inspiring change-makers honored by Women's E-News for 2013.
