The Center for Gender Studies at Koc University (KOÇ-KAM) launched a new initiative, the “Semahat Arsel Distinguished Honorary Fellow Award” to honor women in prominent positions across the world, and individuals who carry out studies on women and gender. The inaugural award was presented to Irina Bokova, UNESCO’s first woman Director-General.
