Center Programs

The Marie Colvin Center offers a variety of programs and events throughout the year to honor the causes for which Marie Colvin gave her life:

  • human rights, democracy and freedom of expression;
  • justice for victims of war and gender-based violence;
  • impact of conflict on migration, refugees and displaced people; and
  • attention to the resilience, safety and well-being of reporters at risk

All Colvin Center events are free and open to the public.
