Jill Biden, Blinken present Women of Courage awards

advocating for survivors of gender-based violence and urging accountability for crimes committed against them. She smuggled a memory card to the Associated Press in a tampon and was forced to destroy another with her teeth. To all the women whom we are honoring today, know that the enormous good you've done has no end. It touches every person who hears your story. It transforms us with new hope. As you seek justice, speak out and pursue peace, you inspire others to find courage within ourselves and rise to that same call. And to every little girl who has wondered, can I, one person, one voice, one girl, fix what's broken? Let the women that we celebrate today be an answer to that question.

An unequivocal yes!.
