It’s part of my life. It’s like breathing. Once you
know about the plight of fellow human beings and
there’s something you can do – it’s a vocation that
keeps me up at night. One in every three women will
experience violence in their lifetime. Once you know
that, you want to do something about it. You just look
at the world in a different way, and you want to
improve the world for your children and for your
children’s children.
