One action Emilia would like everyone to take:

“Through my work with disabled girls, I learned and understood to what extent they need care and attention. I am trying to change society's perception of them and include them in all activities through our theatre programme, Inclusive Theater. I would like more people to find out about this programme and help raise awareness.
