Sister Beatriz Martinez-Garcia (left), director of the School Sisters of Notre Dame UN-NGO Office, brings the gift of SSND charism and the values of the Gospel to bear on the deliberations and decisions of the United Nations. Her advocacy and educational efforts focus primarily on issues related to the rights of girls, women, and those who are poor — especially their right to education, economic justice, and sustainable development. Just last month, she and Lisa Cathelyn (right), Shalom Director of the Central Pacific Province of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, took part in the United Nations’ 63rd Session of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD).
