"The photo shows my daughter in front of an idyllic seascape. She is looking into the distance, she is looking into the future.
She is looking at tomorrow and the day after. She is full of vitality and radiotes a lot of confidence. As a mother, I look at the photo and think of all the challenges and dangers that she will face in the future: climate change, racism, gender struggles, war, poverty, hunger, health worries, etc. But I also think of all the joys she could experience through good politics, cooperation in solidarity, social responsibility and empathy."
