The board and staff of the African Women’s Development Fund offer sincere condolences to the family and friends of Margaret Vogt, former UN Special Representative to the Central African Republic and a long time peace advocate and women’s rights activist. We mourn the passing of a trueAfrican leader and a great friend to AWDF, to social justice globally and to women’s rights in Africa. With her quiet, yet formidable spirit, Margaret was an inspiration to many – a change maker, mother, sister and wife, a colleague, a mentor and a friend – she will be greatly missed.
