International Women’s Day 2025: Force of Nature Celebration

Pure Earth’s Force of Nature awards recognize the strength and achievements of our honorees as well as countless women the world over working every day to solve pollution, protect their families and communities, and advocate on behalf of the most vulnerable. 

We are pleased to announce our 2025 Honorees: 

• Jaclyn Bowen, MPH, MS, Executive Director of the Clean Label Project; 
• Kathryn Huarte, Treasurer, Pure Earth Board of Directors; and 
• Catherine Lufkin, Senior Director, Global Point of Care at Meridian Bioscience Inc.

Please join us on March 6th at Affirmation Arts in New York City, where you will learn about the profound impact that pollution has on maternal and child health and how women around the globe are leading the effort – crafting solutions in government and policy making, private entrepreneurship, and community-level interventions. Celebrate International Women’s Day with a sampling of international foods and cocktails, and finish the night with desserts from Magnolia Bakery!
