FP DIGITAL SUMMIT: HER POWER

October 26 & 27

WOMEN'S VOICES. GLOBAL IMPACT.

FP’s Her Power returns this year with vigor. Despite the setbacks COVID-19 has
caused for women and girls worldwide, and its adverse impacts on progress
towards the Sustainable Development Goals, the crisis has also galvanized new
commitments and transformative steps toward gender equality. 

Historically, the U.S. elected their first female Vice President and sent more
women to Congress than ever before. Around the world, more and more women are
holding top leadership positions in government and the private sector,
demonstrating the benefits of gender equality in business and society. Globally,
movements like the 2021 Generation Equality Forum are generating multilateral
support and strategic action to address the many risks and barriers women
continue to face. 

FP’s third annual Her Power Summit will bring together prolific changemakers as
well as unsung heroines spearheading targeted interventions and systemic change
around the globe. Our program will explore the gender-factor in combatting the
dual crises of the pandemic and climate change and how applying a gendered lens
to global health and recovery efforts can have longterm benefits for economies
and societies.

Join us and add your voice to the conversation #HerPower2021

Internationally known as “Africa’s Iron Lady,” Nobel Laureate Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf is a leading promoter of freedom, peace, justice, women’s empowerment
and democratic rule. As Africa’s first democratically-elected female head of
state, she has led Liberia through reconciliation and recovery following the
nation’s decade-long civil war, as well as the Ebola Crisis, winning
international acclaim for achieving economic, social, and political change.
Recognized as a global leader for women’s empowerment, President Sirleaf was
awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize for Peace in 2011. She is the recipient of
The Presidential Medal of Freedom—the United States’ highest civilian award—for
her personal courage and unwavering commitment to expanding freedom and
improving the lives of Africans. Her many honors also include the Grand Croix of
the Légion d’Honneur, France’s highest public distinction, and being named one
of Forbes’s “100 Most Powerful Women in the World.” And in 2017, former
President Sirleaf was awarded the Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African
Leadership, which celebrates excellence in African leadership. The Ibrahim Prize
recognizes leaders who, during their time in office, have developed their
countries, strengthened democracy and human rights for the shared benefit of
their people, and advanced sustainable development. Sirleaf was the first female
recipient. President Sirleaf was elected President of the Republic of Liberia in
2005, two years after the nation’s bloody civil war ended. Her historic
inauguration as Africa’s first democratically elected head of state took place
on January 16, 2006. Prior to the election, she had served in the transitional
government, where she chaired the Governance Reform Commission and led the
country’s anti-corruption reform. She won reelection in November 2011.

U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth is an Iraq War Veteran, Purple Heart recipient and
former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs who was
among the first handful of Army women to fly combat missions during Operation
Iraqi Freedom. Duckworth served in the Reserve Forces for 23 years before
retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 2014. She was elected to the U.S.
Senate in 2016 after representing Illinois’s Eighth Congressional District in
the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms. In 2004, Duckworth was deployed
to Iraq as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot for the Illinois Army National Guard. On
November 12, 2004, her helicopter was hit by an RPG and she lost her legs and
partial use of her right arm. Senator Duckworth spent the next year recovering
at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where she quickly became an advocate for her
fellow Soldiers. After she recovered, she became Director of the Illinois
Department of Veterans’ Affairs, where she helped create a tax credit for
employers that hire Veterans, established a first-in-the-nation 24/7 Veterans
crisis hotline and developed innovative programs to improve Veterans’ access to
housing and health care. In 2009, President Obama appointed Duckworth as an
Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs, where she coordinated a joint
initiative with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help end
Veteran homelessness, worked to address the unique challenges faced by female as
well as Native American Veterans and created the Office of Online Communications
to improve the VA’s accessibility, especially among young Veterans. In the U.S.
House, Duckworth served on the Armed Services Committee and was an advocate for
working families and job creation. She helped lead passage of the bipartisan
Clay Hunt SAV Act, which enhanced efforts to track and reduce Veteran suicides.
She also passed the Troop Talent Act to help returning Veterans find jobs in the
private sector and worked to cut waste and fraud at the Pentagon and throughout
government, including passing a common-sense provision that was projected to
save taxpayers $4 billion by reducing redundancy in military uniforms. In the
U.S. Senate, Duckworth advocates for practical, common-sense solutions needed to
move our state and country forward like rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure.
She co-founded the Senate’s first-ever Environmental Justice Caucus and also
continues her lifelong mission of supporting, protecting and keeping the
promises we’ve made to our Veterans as well as ensuring that we stand fully
behind the troops our nation sends into danger overseas. In 2018, after
Duckworth became the first Senator to give birth while serving in office, she
sent a message to working families across the country about the value of
family-friendly policies by securing a historic rules change that allows
Senators to bring their infant children onto the Senate floor. Senator Duckworth
serves on several influential committees that give her an important platform to
advocate for Illinois’s working families and entrepreneurs: the Armed Services
Committee; the Environment & Public Works Committee; the Commerce, Science, &
Transportation Committee; and the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee.
The first Senate bill she introduced became law in record time. As a result of
her achievements, Duckworth was ranked as a "highly effective lawmaker" and as
the most effective freshman Democratic Senator in the 115th Congress by the
Center for Effective Lawmaking. Duckworth is fluent in Thai and Indonesian. She
attended college at the University of Hawaii and earned a Master of Arts in
International Affairs from the George Washington University. Following
graduation, Duckworth moved to Illinois and began pursuing a Ph.D. in Political
Science at Northern Illinois University and later worked for Rotary
International. Senator Duckworth and her husband Bryan are the proud parents of
two daughters, Abigail and Maile.
