Women play a vital role in society; we are the hub in the wheel on which the family resides, we are the silent hard workers. A woman symbolizes the earth, she searches for food and offers protection and safety.
Through the generations, women have fought for the right to vote, an end to sexual violence, equal rights in family law, fair wages or equal pay, the rights to own property and to education, the list is endless. Our next pivotal role now, which has always been of paramount importance but has become critical: our role in sustainability.
I believe that we can be catalysts for innovation in sustainability. We are naturally nurturing and what better a cause to fight for than mother earth and the health of its inhabitants.
