COURAGE AWARD: LILIANA POPESCU 
 
REF: SECSTATE 12871 
 
1. (U)   Embassy Bucharest Nominates Professor Liliana 
Popescu for the Secretary of State's Award for International 
Women of Courage. 
 
Name: Liliana Popescu 
Title: Professor of Political Science and International 
Relations 
Institution: National School of Political and Administrative 
Studies 
Date of Birth: 1964 
Contact Information:  40 722-724-226 (cell); e-mail: 
Liliana civic@yahoo.com; Liliana p@rdslink.ro 
 
Justification: 
 
One of Romania's leading civil society activists, Liliana 
Popescu is currently professor of political sciences and 
international relations at the National School for Political 
and Administrative Studies in Bucharest.  Whe has made many 
important contributions in promoting the political and 
economic emancipation of women, and in general of other 
discriminated minorities (including sexual minorities) in 
what is still a rather parochial Romanian society. 
 
Earning her PhD in philosophy at the University of 
Manchester, Liliana Popescu was for years the director in 
Romania for the US-based Civic Education Project (CEP), 
making important contributions to the reform of the curricula 
in the Romanian universities, including the introduction of 
civic education programs.  She is the director of the 
Foundation for Civic Education and Academic Development 
(FPECDA) which  continues the CEP's efforts, and has a 
project sponsored by Embassy Bucharest's Small Democracy 
Grants program.  With this and other related programs, 
Liliana Popescu tirelessly works to draw public attention to 
civic problems in Romania's immediate neighborhood, 
especially in Moldova and Ukraine. 
 
Liliana Popescu is best known, however for her women's rights 
activism.  She is the author of a widely acclaimed book, "The 
Politics of Sexes" published in 2004.  She also has edited or 
contributed to many other volumes dedicated to this same 
topic.  She was the director for a UNDP program aimed at 
increasing the role of women in Romanian politics which she 
held until 2005.  Her role as the principal women's rights 
activist was first prominent during the so-called "Playboy 
Scandal" in the spring of 2000.   Popescu mobilized the 
widespread protest, including leading a march through 
downtown Bucharest, following the publication of an infamous 
article in the Romanian edition of Playboy magazine titled 
"How to beat your wife without leaving traces."  Her efforts 
brought to light the frequently hidden issue of domestic 
violence, and forced a public apology from Playboy 
International and the Romanian editors.  The international 
media recognized this event as one of the first real 
successes of post-communist Romanian civil society in 
defending civil rights and liberties. 
 
Liliana Popescu also has an active, leadership role in 
ACCEPT, a leading Romanian NGO promoting the rights of LGBT 
community.  She courageously works to raise public awareness 
on the existence and rights of sexual minorities in 
homophobic Romania, much to the dismay of the highly 
conservative institutions, including the Romanian Orthodox 
Church hierarchy.  Popescu also promoted the Romanian 
Festival of Diversity in 2004.  For her active involvement in 
defending the rights of women, combatting domestic violence, 
and promoting the rights of minorities in Romania, and for 
her initiatives and leadership role for the emancipation of 
women in Romania, we nominate Liliana Popescu for the  "Women 
of Courage" prize. 
 
2. (U)  Post would also like to bring to the Department's 
attention our runner-up Iana Matei, who we also consider a 
strong contender for recognition. Iana Matei is the founder 
and coordinator of "Reaching Out" shelter for trafficked 
women.  Matei founded the shelter in 1998 and since then has 
provided direct assistance to 127 victims of human 
trafficking.  Matei's shelter offers a one-year recovery and 
assistance program that provides victims with shelter, health 
care, legal aid, and the opportunity to complete their 
education and to learn new skills that enable them to enter 
the work force  Upon completion of the program, "Reaching 
Out" acts as a mediator for victims while they seek 
employment, with the aim of reducing the victim's chances of 
re-entering the trafficking cycle.  "Reaching Out" also 
carries out information-awareness campaigns targeting 
potential victims in several cities in the country.  Ms. 
 
Matei has managed to maintain an active dialogue with local 
officials, earning their respect and cooperation.  Today, 
police routinely refer victims to Matei's shelter.  She has 
done a tremendous job of helping the victims of trafficking, 
and educating officials on the importance of helping these 
vulnerable people.  Matei was praised as a "TIP Hero" in the 
latest U.S. State Department report on trafficking in persons 
(TIP). 
 
3. (U)  Contact person at post for women's issues is 
Political Officer John Moor, who can be reached at 
MoorJ@state.gov, and/or  40 (21) 200-3321.
