As Far Eastern Representative to VOWW.tv I am honoured to support the good works of Dr.Irene Ada and First lady of Grenada in this event, during Pope Francis visit to The General Assembly in the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
The Holy See has shown support for Syrian refugees (Washington Post ) and for Women from the ghettos in the USA (New York Times) who are imprisoned, both categories of people are in 2015 caught in dire situations of poverty and sociological circumstances that resulted in complete loss of personal freedom and any dignity of choices away from criminal exploits and opportunistic predators!
Due to security reasons I cannot divulge the details of the guests lists to this important event of hope and inspiration until after the event. However may I say on behalf of all the men and women VOWW gathered to lobby to give voices to the voiceless that ,” We are honoured to be invited and any of us in this position would surely leverage the opportunity to urge United Nations to end mysosgynistic attacks of women in the media, especially those privileged to be in leadership positions!”
May everything be positive and auspicious.
All the best
Cecilia.
