I dedicate this award to all the women fighting for peace and justice in conflict zones. This award is a symbol of the importance of female solidarity and the need for us to support each other in our fight for peace and justice.
I want to remind you that charity, generosity and philanthropy are values that should guide us in our fight for peace and justice. We must support each other, help each other and encourage each other to build a better world for all’‘.
