Gender equality must become a reality within my lifetime. Ideally all over the planet. Otherwise we are only seeing half the sky. Whatever I can contribute to that, I will attempt to do. And it is good to know so many likeminded supporters in this endeavour. Girls´ education and reproductive rights are therefore naturally very close to my heart. Gender equality is not an option, it is a mandate to empower others and let them shine.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive workplace. To support this, I will ensure that all members of the BKMC review the anti-harassment guidelines and complete the anti-harassment onboarding online course. I will host a dedicated 'Lunch and Learn' session to enhance awareness about the anti-harassment guidelines.
I commit to continue to prominently feature the voices of women and youth smallholder farmers in the BKMC's advocacy work and at major conferences on climate adaptation and provide strong visibility on their urgent need to build climate resilience through the BKMC's outreach and social media activities.
