Chairwoman Activities

Nobel Peace Prize laureate and advocate for human rights, Tawakkol Karman, is set to participate alongside Pope Francis in the forthcoming Papal General Audience scheduled for December 6, 2023.

This anticipated gathering at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City offers a notable opportunity for Karman to engage with and discuss urgent global concerns.
During the weekly audience, Karman is expected to shine a spotlight on the dire situation in the Gaza Strip, urging an immediate halt to the ongoing crimes against innocent civilians and calling for the release of hostages and prisoners. Her plea for justice will emphasize the need to hold the perpetrators accountable by presenting them before the International Criminal Court.
Within this event, the formal presentation of the Declaration on Human Fraternity is scheduled to take place. This consequential document, collaboratively composed by Ms. Karman and fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureates during the World Meeting on Human Fraternity under the auspices of the "Fondazione Fratelli tutti" foundation in June, eloquently emphasizes the shared values and principles that intricately contribute to the tapestry of human unity.
The Papal General Audience, with its global audience, provides an invaluable opportunity for Pope Francis to connect with people from all walks of life and disseminate his teachings on matters of faith, morality, and social issues. Karman's presence serves as a powerful symbol of unity and the collective effort required to address the critical challenges faced in Gaza and beyond.
