Her opinion

After a twenty years in the financial industry, based in New York, London and Paris, I switched career in 2004 to dedicate myself to humanitarian pursuits. As a mother of 4, I am very concerned about topics effecting the role of the mothers, families and the status of women in general. I therefore decided that becoming the permanent representative to the United Nations for  the World Movement of Mothers would enable me to actively participate an influence these issues.

I firmly believe that societies cannot develop harmoniously unless children have received from their parents – mothers in particular- the essential protection and education vital to their development.

I believe that the route to enhance peace and development. in society can be found through the education and protection of it’s mothers, who in turn will help future generations become responsible and balanced human beings. However. Without a safe and equitable environment, mothers cannot fulfill their nurturing role and in the long term society as a whole will suffer the consequences.
