European Women’s International Leadership Award 2023
2023 European Women’s International Leadership Award to eight women from around the globe
(Texte en français plus bas)
Four years ago, we had the idea to create an award for extraordinary women: the European Women’s International Leadership Award.
We are focusing on women who at a certain moment of their life, have decided to follow their dream, to break with traditional obligations around them, to challenge male- dominated areas, to act in a respectful way in order to give an example to all those women, who do not (yet) dare to raise their voice and to develop their potential.
The 2023 will be hosted again by the Brussels EU Representation of the German State of Hesse (Rue Montoyer 21, B-1000 Brussels):
Monday, 6 March 2023
18.00 Welcome drink
18.30 Ceremony
20.30 Networking reception
The following eight women have been selected:
Nadia Atia (Morocco)
Bounthone Chanthalavong-Wiese (Laos, Germany)
Tanasha Donna (Kenia, Italy, Belgium)
Nuray Erden (Turkey)
Runa Khan (Bangladesh)
Martine Moïse (Haiti)
Marie-Consolée Mukangendo (Rwanda, Spain)
Inna Pletukhina (Russia, USA)
The awards will be handed over and the laureates will be honoured during an award winning ceremony. The first ceremony took place in March 2019 in the European Parliament in Brussels. Since then – due to the COVID-19 restrictions – the ceremonies were hosted by the Brussels EU Representation of the German “Land” of Hesse. You will find here the link to last year’s ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvbN8r35PnE
This year, Friedrich von Heusinger (Director of the Hesse Representation) will give a welcome speech, the awards will be handed over by the MEP Miriam Lexmann.

2023 European Women’s International Leadership Award à huit femmes
Il y a quatre ans, nous avons eu l’idée de créer un prix pour des femmes extraordinaires à l’occasion de la journée internationale de la femme, le “European Women’s International Leadership Award“. Nous nous concentrons sur les femmes qui à un certain moment de leur vie, ont décidé de suivre leur rêve, de rompre avec les obligations traditionnelles autour d’elles, de défier les zones dominées par les hommes, d’agir de manière respectueuse afin de donner l’exemple à tous. Ces femmes qui osent pas faire entendre leur voix et développer leur potentiel.
