First Lady Melania Trump handed out awards at the 2017 International Women of Courage awards ceremony on Wednesday at the U.S. Department of State, where she was introduced as a campaigner for the safety and security of women and girls around the world.
“The era of allowing brutality against women and children is over,” Trump said to the large crowd of guests gathered to honor 13 women who faced horrific challenges in their lives but persisted to become activists to help others facing a similar plight.
“Each one of these heroic women has an extraordinary story of courage, which should inspire each of us to achieve more than we had ever imagined possible,” Trump said before handing out statuettes and posing for pictures with each of the women.
“Their lives remind us of the boundless capacity of the human spirit when guided by moral clarity and desire to do good,” Trump said.

I wonder how many of these girls in this position because of either Islamists or Ubama/Clinton policies?
She did great. She is starting to feel more comfortable. She will be a great First Lady
Sorry but as long as abortion remains legal we ARE allowing brutality against women and children.
I agree. She was so gracious! Proud to listen to all of her accomplishments when she was introduced. She’s been active in many charities etc
A much better message than the previous FLOTUS advanced.
“You kids will eat this crap and like it!”
A politically correct speech. She could have added, “Keep voting for supporters of Islam and communism and you will get the brutality you fear when they take over.”
I respectfully disagree with FLOTUS here:
The ‘Era of Allowing Brutality Against Women and Children’ won’t be over as long as Leftists are in a position to wield power, as they are in many European countries and in many American cities. (e.g., see Sweden. e.g., see Rockville, MD)
Melania seems to be a very traditional person.
One of my sisters has to live in a home run by people from Romania. At the entrance there is still a huge Trump Pence sign and then there is a big Declaration of Independence displayed.
These people value our founders because they know. They are great Americans.
Put me on the list please, sir.
If shes talking about brtuality in islam, imagree.
I america the feminists make it,out that only women and children are abused and never men.
2900 womens shelters for abuse in america. 1 for men. Men make up 43% of domestic abuse victims.
Feminists cant have men portrayed as victims because it steals their spin they want to promote that only men are abusers.
Thanks for the ping!!
Would love to be on the Melania Ping list please.
