Bianca Jagger is a human rights campaigner for more than 25 years. Knowing that human rights and justice can not be seen apart from other urgent actual question she emphazises on the interdependance of these questions with the ones of sustainability and climate protection.
Bianca Jagger’s commitment to justice and human rights issues was inevitable for she was born in Nicaragua, a country that endured almost 50 years of despotic dictatorship and has seen so much political upheaval. Nicaragua first taught her the meaning of social and economic injustice, inspiring her aspiration to be a social and human rights advocate.
During the 1980s Bianca's work brought her to Central America to denounce human rights violations in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. In 1993, she traveled to the former Yugoslavia to document claims of mass rape of Bosnian women by Serbian forces as part of a campaign of ethnic cleansing. As part of her continuing environmental efforts, Ms. Jagger has for the last decade been involved in efforts to save the indigenous population and protect the rain forests of Nicaragua, Brazil and other parts of Latin America.
