Initiatives like this remind us of the importance of role models in our society and inspire us to continue supporting actions that promote empowerment and equality in practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our recent visit to Principia\u2019s facilities offered us a unique experience, as we had the opportunity to closely attend the&#8230;
