Female personality in Europe with their Great contribution in the Society.


Emma Bonino
Born in Bra, Italy, in 1948, Emma Bonino has been referred to as “legendary figure” by
the Financial Times. At the beginning of the 1970s, as a young graduate, she fought for abortion
rights, and participated in the foundation of the information center on sterilisation and abortion
(CISA) in Milan. She made her political debut within the radical party in Rome. She then
became a MEP, European Commissioner for Fisheries, Health and Consumer Protection, from
1995 to 1999. On 17 May 2006, she became Minister of European Affairs and International
Trade in Italy, then Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2013. While she has retired from politics
today, Bonino still fights for the rights of women and migrants. She also does not hesitate to
criticise the Italian government for its migration policy.
