Sr. Ana Paula Correa at the Summit of the Future

“Not being able to speak a language is a limitation, but it’s not a barrier. All that matters is being open to taking risks and making the most of the opportunities that come your way. ”

Sr. Ana Paula Correa from Brazil, member of the Roman Congregation of Saint Dominic, took part in the Summit of the Future at the UN on September 22-23, 2024:

I am very grateful and happy for the opportunity to participate in the Summit of the Future, which took place on September 22 and 23, 2024. It was a high-level event that brings together world leaders at the United Nations to create a new international consensus on how to provide a better present and protect the future. To adopt the Compact for the Future, which will include a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations as annexes.

A space to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Charter, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system better positioned to positively impact people’s lives.

I had the opportunity to participate in a conference of the African Union with representatives of the religious who work and are representatives of their UNG congregations at uno. The conference focused on education in Africa and the role of women, who still have to fight for their rights.

I took part in another conference on immigration, where I heard about people from different countries leave their homelands, sometimes in the throes of war, sometimes in search of survival.

Participating in this event representing our Justice and Peace Commission, the Roman Congregation of Saint Dominic, and as a member of the civil society, makes me feel very honored and provokes me to study and do more research on the subject. At the same time, it motivates me to be a courageous woman in the struggle for justice, peace and a world of equality and sustainability without war.
