On Thursday 8 March the 15th #AlettaJacobsPrize was awarded to Lilianne Ploumen. During a festive ceremony in the Aula of the Academy Building Ploumen received the certificate from Rector Magnificus Elmer Sterken. The jury praised Ploumen’s commitment to women’s and girls’ rights worldwide, and her successful endeavours in that field. Ploumen hopes that her initiative ‘She Decides’ will contribute to helping millions of women in developing countries to decide for themselves whether and with whom they want children, and how many. During the award ceremony lectures were held by Prof. Jelle Stekelenburg, Professor of International Aspects of Reproductive Health, on ‘The right to safe motherhood’ and by Faustina Fynn-Nyame, Director of the Women’s Health Project at Population Services International. There was a musical intermezzo by vocalist Nynke Laverman, accompanied by Sytze Pruiksma on piano. Since 1990, the #UniversityofGroningen awards the biannual Aletta Jacobs Prize to women who have distinguished themselves in the field of emancipation. The prize aims to profile women who serve as an example to others.
