Fulbright in Macedonia -- Presentation -- Zonta Club Pinellas and USFSP Global Initiatives -- April 30, 2019

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet with the Zonta Club of Pinellas and to share my experiences as a Fulbrighter in Macedonia (now North Macedonia).

Thanks so much for the invitation!

(We have been collaborating since my Women and the Law class back in Fall 2011, when my students (in partnership with students at the State University of Moldova in Chisinau) were working on projects related to human trafficking, see this blog post  and this blog post).)
 
Thanks so much for the invitation, Donna!
 
Wonderful to see Mayor Leslie Waters in attendance. I am a big fan of her work empowering women around the globe as a trainer for IRI, the International Republican Institute
Thanks for the warm introduction, Donna. Pictured are scenes from our Say No to Violence Against Women events in Skopje and in Tetovo

 Previously I have presented posters about my Fulbright in Macedonia - and I was pleased to have another opportunity to display and discuss them!

It was a special treat to recall our collaboration with Zonta Club Skopje and Forumi Gruas (a woman's organization in Tetovo) and a Peace Corps Volunteer on a project to raise awareness of the need to "Say No to Violence Against Women"
