The ceremony, held in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands from 27 to 29 June, recognised outstanding Caribbean women making significant contributions in their respective fields.

Dr. Campbell-Rowe, a United Nations Global Peace Ambassador affiliated with the Canadian International Chaplaincy Association, was honoured for her leadership and commitment to peace and social development.

The organisers described her as a “trailblazer whose work is inspiring a new generation of Caribbean leaders.”
