 Nadia Murad came to Harvard as a survivor of genocide under ISIS, an advocate for victims of sexual violence, and the first Iraqi citizen to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Her talk at the Memorial Church, as part of the Weatherhead Center’s Samuel L. and Elizabeth Jodidi Lecture Series, co-sponsored this year by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, focused on her personal journey and how her ordeal turned her into an activist. Read more about her talk in the [Harvard Gazette](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/04/at-harvard-nobelist-nadia-murad-explains-the-making-of-an-activist-2/), and watch video of [her talk with moderater Jennifer Leaning](/news/samuel-l-and-elizabeth-jodidi-lecture-nadia-murad).
