👉🏿I am featured on the December cover of
@harpersbazaares that is out today. Here is the interview by
@albertopinteno : BIANCA JAGGER - From the 1970s, when her name evoked freedom and legend, to today, when her voice stands out as one of the most steadfast in the defence of human rights, Bianca— winner of the Bazaar Women of the Year - Human Rights Defender award— has embodied a single idea: beauty is meaningless without conscience. Her elegance, intelligence, and courage paint a portrait of a woman who has made commitment her way of life.
I REMEMBER THE MOMENT I saw her enter the café of Madrid's Hotel Wellington. Bianca (Pérez-Mora Macías) Jagger (Nicaragua, 1950) walked slowly, wrapped in an off-white two-piece suit with pinstripes by Yves Saint Laurent, a Panama hat of the same color, and carrying a cane; her face unadorned, her gaze firm, tempered by time. There was something almost cinematic about her presence: a perpetual serenity, the dignity of someone who has survived all the versions the world invented about her. Before me was not the muse of the seventies nor the woman of a thousand headlines about excess and freedom, but a living legend, the voice that has spent decades putting her body on the line in the name of truth and justice. "I'm not an activist, I'm a defender," she tells me almost immediately. The precision of her language defines her. For Bianca, every word is a moral boundary. "Women are called activists even if we run a foundation or represent the United Nations. Men, on the other hand, are recognised as presidents, ambassadors, or directors. It's a way of diminishing the legitimacy of our voice.”
