AMMWEC to Honor Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett at Women Changemakers Conference in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The American Muslim and Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council (AMMWEC) is proud to recognize Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett, President of the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice, as a recipient of the Changemakers Award at our upcoming national conference in Washington, D.C.

A lifelong advocate for human rights and religious freedom, Dr. Lantos Swett has carried forward the legacy of her father, the late Congressman Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor to have served in the U.S. Congress. Through her leadership at the Lantos Foundation and her distinguished service as Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), Dr. Lantos Swett has been a fearless voice for the oppressed and a principled defender of democratic values around the globe.

AMMWEC celebrates Dr. Lantos Swett’s unwavering commitment to universal human rights, her advocacy for persecuted religious minorities, and her efforts to bridge divides across faith and political lines. Her work reflects AMMWEC’s mission to empower women leaders to stand against extremism, advance pluralism, and strengthen the bonds of our shared humanity.

The Women Changemakers Conference, held on July 21, 2025, on Capitol Hill, will convene faith leaders, policymakers, and human rights advocates to honor the achievements of women who are reshaping our world through courage and conviction.
