Once a month, I will profile a not-for-profit organization, whose purpose, work, and values I wholeheartedly support. February 2016: Safe World for Women.
Our online resource centre helps you to find organisations working with issues affecting women and children, throughout the world.
As the founder of Safe World for Women, I am committed to bringing together women and men who share our vision for a safer and more humane world.
We need to start by protecting the most vulnerable. Women and children still make up most of the world’s poor, most victims of war, most refugees and so it goes on. I truly believe that a Safe World for Women is a safe world for all.
In the summer of 2009, I visited women’s groups in the Middle East and rural Uganda, with my husband Andrew. I returned home feeling blessed that we live in a peaceful, lush part of the world and also inspired by the strength of human spirit when faced with unimaginable challenges.
My dim distant past varies from being head keeper at a wild-life park, book cover artist, columnist for a local journal, running a gardening business, studying biology, natural nutrition, homeopathy and Tibetan psycotherapy, coordinating workshops and retreats … to bringing up two children in the wilds of Ireland and Cornwall along ‘natural nurturing’ principles.
