DODD PRIZE IN INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/484a4bea3bf4706da0e57a6a9/images/90f5a402-63ae-4a47-be93-5f01017dd872.jpg] The National Advisory Board of the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center is proud to announce the winners of the 7th Thomas J. Dodd Prize in International Justice and Human Rights President Bill Clinton and Tostan [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/484a4bea3bf4706da0e57a6a9/images/a90dbc05-f18b-4d01-9ae0-5f75189ea5c8.jpg] William Jefferson Clinton, the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, led the U.S. to the longest economic expansion in American history. On October 15, 1995, he joined Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Governor John G. Rowland, and UConn President Harry J. Hartley in dedicating the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center. President Clinton's words that day, along with his leadership in office, inspired the Dodd Center in its efforts to preserve and extend the legacy of Sen. Thomas J. Dodd's fight against the infringement and suppression of human rights in the United States and abroad. Tostan, from the Wolof word for "breakthrough," is an international human rights organization based in Senegal. Since 1991, Tostan has worked to empower African communities to bring about sustainable development and positive social transformation based on respect for human rights. Tostan's innovative approach, called the Community Empowerment Program (CEP), is rooted in the belief that every human being has a fundamental right to human dignity. Working in Senegal, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, and Gambia,, Tostan has impacted about 2 million lives in the areas of health, education, environment, governance, and economic growth. Through their work empowering communities, fostering democratic practices, and promoting understanding of human rights, Tostan is building a culture of human rights from the ground up.
