Teresa Casale is the executive director of Mina’s List, which promotes women’s political leadership and peace globally. It has worked with women leaders around the world since 2012 — in countries including Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Nigeria — and has been directly involved in shaping U.S. policy on women, peace, and security. In August 2021, Mina’s List shifted its work to helping evacuate women political leaders from Afghanistan and helping them resettle in Europe and North America.
