Coordinated by the Kent State Women’s Center, the G.E.A.R. Awards strengthen and connect our community by highlighting gender equity and telling the stories of our students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends. Just like one gear turns another, on and on, the impact of one person working toward a more equitable environment inspires a ripple of change. We are excited to be taking this opportunity to recognize and celebrate those in our community who are “turning the gears” toward gender equity.
Deadline to purchase tickets is Monday, March 11.

Prior to working with Scholars at Risk (SAR), Marvi was a journalist in Pakistan where she began – much to the dissatisfaction of her publishers – writing about incidents of violence against women, and “honor killings” in particular. Marvi Sirmed drew the ire of many, and particularly those who were invested in the system as it existed. She persisted nonetheless, even after surviving an assassination attempt. In 2019, the threats intensified, and she sought refuge and moved to the United States. She initially worked with the National Endowment for Democracy, and has since been providing incredible classroom experiences at UConn while continuing her outspoken human rights activism.
