扶轮社首位女性世界总裁:“这让我有机会打破壁垒”

Share:

国际扶轮社首位女性主席詹妮弗·琼斯称赞新西兰的本地项目是她在环球旅行中见过的最好的项目之一。来自加拿大的琼斯于2022年成为国际扶轮社的全球总裁,成为该组织118年历史上第一位担任该职位的女性,创造了历史。

琼斯来新西兰参观了几家俱乐部经营的项目。在前往克赖斯特彻奇担任南岛扶轮社会议的主旨发言人之前,她访问了尼尔森和塔斯曼。她在尼尔森看到的项目给她留下了特别深刻的印象。

琼斯在20世纪90年代加入扶轮社。在此之前,她曾担任记者,报道俱乐部的会议,当时不允许女性参加。这种情况在1987年发生了变化,当时美国最高法院裁定扶轮社不能基于性别将女性排除在外。但是,又过了35年,一位女性才被任命为该组织的世界主席。

琼斯说,成为第一位女总统完全是一种荣幸,她希望这能激励其他人。她说:“也许这为一个说:’如果她能做到,我也能’的人打开了大门,我对此感到非常高兴。”

国际扶轮社现在拥有来自200多个国家约46,000个俱乐部的140多万名会员。在担任总统期间,琼斯前往57个国家,包括新西兰,她说新西兰是她最喜欢的国家之一。

在尼尔森期间,琼斯参观了扶轮社资助的几个项目。其中包括无家可归者救助中心、针对年轻人的指导计划和减少食物浪费的服务。她还会见了来自Days for Girls的志愿者,Days for Girls是一家生产和分发可重复使用的月经保健产品的非营利组织。这些产品通常发放给原本会在月经期间缺课的女孩。
