What is a strong woman? In December 2015, a team of American women, including the directors of the Center for Sport, Peace, & Society and former U.S. Women’s National Team soccer players Mary Harvey and Lori Lindsey, traveled to Egypt and Jordan to find out the answer. Over the course of two weeks, they visited six alumnae from the U.S. Department of State and espnW’’s Global Sports Mentoring Program to experience their work first hand. These inspiring changemakers — Dina Ibrahim, Hayam Essam, Yasmin Helal, Caroline Maher in Egypt and Dima Alardah and Batoul Arnaout in Jordan — have won medals, launched NGOs, empowered communities, and even brought sport to Syrian women and girls in refugee camps. They are strong women empowering a new generation of girls and women in the Middle East. Learn more about the Global Sports Mentoring Program: http://globalsportswomen.org
