UN Women For Peace Association Annual Awards Luncheon To End Violence Against Women

by Hillary Latos
in Charitable Events, Philanthropy

As in person events are once again returning to NYC the UN Women for Peace Association celebrated their Annual Awards Luncheon at Casa Cipriani on May 3, 2022.  Ambassador Rosemary DiCarlo, Christian Elliott, The Honorable Joanne King Herring, Vicki Hollub, and Kevin Hyland OBE were honored this year for their remarkable achievements in their quest for women’s equality. This year was bittersweet and paid tribute to the UNWFPA’s late co founder, Dame Muna Rihani Al-Nasser who tirelessly dedicated the last years of her life to raising awareness to help end violence towards women. 

Rosanna Scotto hosted the celebration, welcoming guests she said, “As a reporter and co–host of FOX 5’s, Good Day New York, I have been lucky enough to be able to use my platform to highlight women’s stories. We have a mission to make sure that women can achieve the equality they deserve. This year’s Awards Luncheon is to celebrate the life and legacy of a strong woman who always fought for equality; UNWFPA Founder, Dame Muna Rihani Al–Nasser.”

 

UNWFPA President Rema DuPont presented a posthumous Legacy Award for Muna, accepted by her husband and biggest supporter, H.E. Mr. Nassir Abdulaziz Al– Nasser, with their son, Aziz Al–Nasser in the audience. “UN Women for Peace Association will continue to support women and girls with our new Muna Rihani Al–Nasser Scholarship Fund for educating at–risk and underprivileged girls”, shared Rema. 

 

Actress Fran Drescher made the keynote address, sharing her own powerful story, “I became a victim of violence when I was raped at gunpoint in my own home by a man I did not know, who was out on parole. But I was one of the lucky ones, because I lived to identify my assailant and see him sentenced to 150 years in prison. Still, for a year afterwards I felt like a mirror image of myself that was cracked in a thousand pieces. But connecting to one’s trauma, turning pain into purpose, and time are all healing. I am a survivor!”

 

Rema later announced “Over 94% of violence against women stems from men, which affirms our belief that the solution does too. That is why we are launching a new campaign called Counting On Men — as we believe without addressing men and boys, we will not make progress on the issues related to violence against women and girls.”

 

The celebration included performances by Wendy Moten singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow, and country star Drew Baldridge singing his original song She’s Somebody’s Daughter.  Luncheon Co–Chairs were H.E. Sheikha Paula al Sabah, H.R.H. Princess Camilla of Bourbon of Two Siciles, Duchess of Castro, Susan Gutfreund, Leila Heller, Francine LeFrak, Pat Kerr Tigrett, and Regional Chairs include Countess Bérengère de Pontac, Genesis Jones, Annie Joubran, Youngsong Martin, Melissa Metz, Suzan Lee Park, Dr. Christina Rahm–Thomas, and Clayton Thomas. Guests included Reagan and Doug Bauer, Rita Cosby, Amanda Diaz, Kat Graham (award presenter), AnnaLynne McCord with Benjamin W. Decker, Denise Schwartz and Marc Rosen, Barbara Tober, as well as UNWFPA Board of Directors Michal Grayevsky (Treasurer), Valbona Neritani, and Anne Marie Dougherty. 

 

About UNWFPA
The UN Women for Peace Association, Inc. was founded in 2008 under the patronage of H.E. Mrs. Ban Soon–Taek, the wife of UN Secretary–General Ban Ki–moon with the tireless dedication of its co–founder, the late Dame Muna Rihani Al–Nasser. UNWFPA helps to advance the goals of organizations committed to helping end violence against women and children through three pillars; human trafficking, domestic violence and child exploitation. UNWFPA also provides opportunities for women to partake in the global peace building process through social, cultural, education and women empowerment programs. Since its inception it has awarded more than one million dollars to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, awarded scholarships for women, supported girls education in refugee camps to keep them from being trafficked, and campaigned relentlessly to end violence against women and children. This year, UNWFPA will be launching a generational campaign called #CountingOnMen to address root causes.
