As we continue to take time to remember past Dignity & Respect champions, let us honor Nieves Stiker, March 2010’s winner her work in empowering women and changing lives.
During her daily work, Stiker connects with women in tough situations in the New Choices/New Options program, which is a state-wide career development program designed to help single parents and displaced homemakers. Stiker also helps to provide free literacy programs to adults through the Community Education Center, which currently serves 400 people.
Stiker lives her life in a way that directly represents the Dignity and Respect Campaign’s mission – to achieve cultural and behavioral change in lives, organizations, and communities by ensuring that inclusion is at the core of what people do each day. Stiker said that while she works to break down barriers women face, she feels that it is a privilege to be a part of their lives just as they are looking to make a positive change.
