MMM in France - a look back at our high level dinner hosted at the Versailles Town Hall near Paris.
In the prestigious rooms of Versailles Town Hall, the Mayor, François de Mazières welcomed everyone. Sylvie Piganeau, Family Delegate and Regional Councilor, accompanied by Charlotte Baelde, Regional Delegate for #égalitéhommefemme, joined the large audience of elected representatives from all walks of life, neighbourhood associations, parents and public and community actors.
Newly appointed Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, in his introductory remarks, highlighted current conflicts, emphasising the importance of the role of mothers: “every gesture, every attention counts for the development of our children”, he said. This includes their strength when they have to fight, as Afghan mothers do.
Here are some other key messages:
MMM President Anne-Claire de Liedekerke and Executive Director Afaf Abounouadar, while thanking MMM teams at the UN, EU and UNESCO, explained the systemic impact of advocacy and the importance of promoting the role of mothers on the ground at all levels.
Laurence de Batz, MMM’s Vice President and head of the French team who organised the dinner, summed up the overall sentiment of the evening: “Mothers have the power to instil a culture of peace in the early years. This event, supported by so many key actors, is a testament to that power”.
