The United States recently honored two individuals for their courageous advocacy in human rights and the fight against sexual harassment. A Cuban dissident named Marta, recognized for her decades-long defiance against the communist-run government's human rights violations, was awarded the 'Woman of Courage' honor. Similarly, Rina Gonoi, a former member of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, received the International Women of Courage Award. Gonoi was acknowledged for her efforts to combat sexual harassment within the military, particularly highlighting her victory in a sexual harassment case where she spoke out against abuse from male personnel. These awards, announced by the U.S. State Department, underscore the U.S. commitment to recognizing global human rights and anti-harassment efforts.
