Sara Hossain to receive Int�l Women of Courage Award

UNB

Barrister Sara Hossain reached the United States to receive the US Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award 2016, reports UNB.
She will receive her award in Washington, DC at a ceremony to be held at 8:30pm (BST) today and 10:30am (local time). US Secretary of State John Kerry and 13 other awardees from around the world will attend the ceremony, said a US Embassy statement yesterday.
This award annually recognises women from around the world who have demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for peace, justice, human rights, gender equality, and women’s empowerment, often at great personal risk.  Sara, daughter of eminent jurist Dr Kamal Hossain, is a human rights lawyer who has served as a powerful voice for Bangladesh’s most disadvantaged and marginalised citizens, particularly women and girls, in her country’s highest courts of law.
