Stephanie Case, a United Nations human rights lawyer and ultrarunner, founded Free to Run, leveraging her expertise to empower women and girls in conflict zones like Afghanistan and Iraq through running. Currently on parental leave, Case reflects on her journey and advocacy work, particularly emphasizing the challenges women face with infertility. Her organization, Free to Run, has gained recognition through a film that showcases its impact in supporting women’s rights and opportunities in war-torn areas.
"Using the very unique intersection of skills of being a human rights lawyer, working in war zones, being an ultrarunner, and existing as someone who doesn't believe in the word impossible, she's provided opportunities for countless women in six countries."
"The formation and operation of Free to Run was documented in a film that toured film festivals after it was released online by The North Face. The film won several awards."
