Securing Human Rights for Sexual Violence Survivors
Ambassador Lectures presents to you our next speaker - Amanda Nguyen.
Amanda Nguyen is the CEO and founder of Rise, a US civil rights nonprofit. She is a 2019 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Amanda penned her own civil rights into existence and unanimously passed the US Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights after having to navigate the broken criminal justice system after her own rape. 19 bills protecting sexual violence survivors have been created modeled off of her federal law. The federal law was the 21st bill in modern US history to pass unanimously on the record.
Amanda has been named a Forbes 30 Under 30, by Foreign Policy as a Top 100 Leading Global Thinker, Marie Claire as a Young Woman of the Year, and The Tempest's #1 Woman of Color Trailblazer. Previously, Amanda was appointed by President Barack Obama to the United States Department of State as his Deputy White House Liaison and served at NASA. Amanda graduated from Harvard University.
At just 27, Amanda has impacted the lives of over 32 million survivors in the US through her work, and she pledged not to stop until no survivor is left behind.
