In the mid 90’s as I had grew in my own maturity I could see that the systems and structures that kept the marginalised in their place did not look to be changing. I believed that the subjugation and marginalisation of women in developing countries were affecting women everywhere – I know that we humans are all connected and in it together. I had built a connected and resilient business community through conscious and ethical leadership and I wanted to do this in other places where women were not empowered and left feeling alone and disconnected from the rest of the world.
Whilst sitting on the ground in the villages talking and working women at the local level I realised that I also wanted for my daughter to feel connected to the wider world and know that the whole of the planet was home for her.
