MY CHOSEN ENGAGEMENTS
Since when I was a social worker, I chose to be involved in causes that are important in my opinion, for the world to open to more Compassion towards some of those of us who are less seen and heard
Women; the core of my clientele
Children; I have been working with children at risk as a social worker, in collaboration with the judiciary system
Pregnant adolesccents, surviving rape / incest
Refugees; I worked with the French branch of the International Social Services with, among other migrant populations, refugees ans asylum seekers
Those who struggle financially; I am offering sliding prices
One recipe for feeling more alive is to be connected to others and engaged in something that has a meaning and goes beyond who we are
Working with Refugees means fighting for what we should all have: the right to be who we are beyong the hatred fueled by the fear of the differences
Interviewing Women is paricipating to the opening of the female voices, the female presence recognition
