NEW YORK - On Wednesday, September 20, Her Excellency Emine Erdogan, the First Lady of Turkey, joined TIKAD, the Turkish Business Women Association, at Rockefeller Center to address industry leaders about methods for promoting peace and global justice.
She stated, "Women and men have been the subjects of history together. However… they are not brought to the fore in history writing."
Nilufer Bulut, the President of TIKAD, described the "spread of war and conflict… the deep global poverty that will lead to unhealthy generations… [and] income inequality dividing societies."
Bulut opined that women have historically been the ones most affected by violence; now they must take up the mantle of responsibility.
