Chairwoman Dr. Isabelle Vladoiu presented today at the IRF Builders Forum on the topic “The Role of Women as Architects of Peace and Religious Freedom.” The event, organized by the IRF Secretariat in collaboration with Love Your Neighbor Community (LYNC) and Templeton Religion Trust, marks the inaugural IRF Builders Forum & Roger Williams IRF Awards Dinner—a significant gathering of global leaders, advocates, and champions of religious freedom. Over the course of two days, the forum features transformative initiatives, fosters strategic collaboration, and celebrates outstanding contributions to advancing religious freedom at all levels. #IRFForum #ReligiousFreedom #WomenInLeadership #DrIsabelleVladoiu #FaithAndPeace #USIDHR #GlobalAdvocacy (fb)

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ms. Elvana Shala, Ambassador of Goodwill for the International Human Rights Commission in Kosovo, to the USIDHR Headquarters in Washington, D.C. After her impactful participation as a speaker at the Second Annual Congressional Briefing on “Diplomacy and Global Leadership: Strengthening Security and Cooperation in a Changing World”, held at the U.S. Congress, this visit was an opportunity to continue our conversation beyond the stage. Together with our Chairwoman, Dr. Isabelle Vladoiu, the two leaders engaged in a strategic dialogue to explore long-term collaboration and the expansion of USIDHR’s programs in Kosovo—with a shared vision of advancing diplomacy, education, and human rights across the region. As a symbol of gratitude and recognition, Dr. Vladoiu presented Ms. Shala with the USIDHR Gold Commemorative Coin, honoring her commitment to humanitarian leadership and her tireless advocacy for global cooperation. @usidhr | @elvanashala #USIDHR #ElvanaShala #Kosovo #DiplomacyInAction #HumanRightsLeadership #WomenInDiplomacy #StrategicPartnership #GoldCoin #USIDHRHQ #GlobalImpact #ChairwomanVladoiu #CollaborationForChange (fb)
