Nadia Honored with Champion Award from Barbara Sinatra Children's Center

Nadia Murad was honored at the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center's Champion Honors Luncheon, which recognizes survivors of abuse, leaders advancing awareness and prevention of child abuse, and advocates for mental health. Nadia joins a distinguished group of previous honorees, including Elizabeth Smart, Simone Biles, Connie Chung, and Aly Raisman.

During her visit, Nadia toured the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, which provides individual, group, and family therapy, along with specialized programs for children affected by abuse, neglect, and human trafficking. The Center's commitment to supporting young survivors through comprehensive, trauma-informed care reflects a shared belief that healing must be grounded in the experiences of those most affected.

At Nadia's Initiative, we are grateful for the recognition and inspired by the Center's work on behalf of children and families.
