Since March 2007, the Department of State has recognized more than 170 women from over 80 countries with the IWOC Award. U.S. diplomatic missions overseas nominate one woman of courage from their respective host countries and finalists are selected and approved by senior Department officials.</p> <p>Following the virtual IWOC ceremony, the awardees will participate in an International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) Virtual exchange to connect with their American counterparts and strengthen the global network of women leaders.</p> <p>Learn more about IWOC <a href="https://eca.state.gov/highlight/celebrating-our-2022-international-women-courage" target="_blank">here.</a></p> <p><a
