Suzanne Ferrière
Swiss humanitarian (1886–1970) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne Suzanne "Lili" Ferrière (22 March 1886, Geneva – 13 March 1970, Geneva) was a Swiss dance teacher of Dalcroze eurhythmics and a humanitarian activist from a prominent Genevan family. As only the third female member of the governing body of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), she helped to pave the way towards gender equality in the organisation.[1]
Ferrière also contributed to establishing the Save the Children International Union, the International Social Service for migrants, and the International Union for Child Welfare. During the Second World War she became an outspoken advocate inside the ICRC leadership to publicly denounce Nazi Germany's system of extermination and concentration camps.[2][3]
