Women of Zimbabwe Arise to receive award from President Obama
Share
Momentarily Jenni Williams and Magondonga Mahlangu of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) will receive the 2009 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award from President Obama. WOZA serves to provide women in Zimbabwe an opportunity and forum to stand up for their rights and freedoms.
Back in April, I and some other ONE staffers got a chance to meet with Jenni and Magondonga to discuss WOZA and the state of human rights in Zimbabwe. It was a remarkable experience. Many congratulations are in order for Jenni, Mogondonga, and all of Women of Zimbabwe Arise.
