Vatikanen på Internationella Kvinnodagen 8 mars 2015
Bland talarna bla Ulla Gudmundson och Lesley-Anne Knight
”A Swedish writer, political analyst, and Swedish Ambassador to the Holy See 2008-2013. Her work as an ambassador to the Holy See meant that Ulla was extremely close to the pulse of the Vatican and the role of women within the Church. At the same time because she is a Lutheran she can comment on the roles of women within a sister Church.”

She was previously Secretary General of Caritas Internationalis, a global confederation of Catholic aid agencies based in Rome.

She has also worked as International Director of CAFOD (the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) and as Emergencies Manager for HelpAge International. Earlier in her career she gained invaluable field experience, spending several years in Latin America working with indigenous peoples and refugees, as well as in the Mexico City office of Oxfam.”
