Ambassador, Permanent Representative,
Permanent Mission of Malta to the OSCE, the UN and other International Organisations
“Progress is impeded wherever ability is constrained by stereotype instead of recognised by merit. In unlocking the full breadth of human potential, gender equality benefits society as a whole.”
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
I am committed to raising awareness of the need to dismantle gender stereotypes, which remain pervasive, limit opportunities and outcomes, and contribute to gender-based violence. In this regard, I will actively support and promote initiatives that increase women’s participation and leadership across Vienna-based organisations, including by advocating for balanced representation in decision-making fora and the consistent use of inclusive language to drive lasting cultural change.
I am equally committed to empowering young women by championing mentorship, leadership development, and access to opportunities that foster professional growth. I will strive to equip young women with the confidence, networks, and skills needed to thrive, while promoting platforms that ensure their meaningful participation in decision-making. Above all, I will seek to ensure that young women fully recognize that their ambitions are valid, their potential is boundless, and their aspirations can be fully realized.
