They are no more “women” issues than they are “men” issues- they are gender and sex-based issues that affect all men and women, girls and boys differently, in all their diversity. Words count and they can have the power to change mindsets, biases and empower us all into action. More equal societies benefit us all, no matter where you live or who you are.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I will advocate for the protection and realization of the equal rights of women and girls in speeches, negotiations, at the OSCE’s PC, FSC and any other forum, and all forms of media.
I will mentor (young) women professionals to not only share my experience, but to learn about the new challenges and opportunities women are facing today, and to try to find new innovative solutions, responses and paths to growth and awareness.
