Earlier this week, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa sent a video message to the Zonta International Convention which was taking place in Germany. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa was recently made an Honorary Member of Zonta International.

In her speech, which you can watch below, she said: “ I have always defended the rights of women and girls because I am convinced that their place in our society will strongly determine our future and a future of peace! Zonta’s role is to support them in achieving their goals of gender equality. This is a battle that must be won project by project, village by village, country by country. Because this equality is not only a fundamental right but it is also the foundation of a world of more peace and more justice.”

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wore a Sacai dress with a white blouse and Peruffo jewels.
