UNESCO honours Princess Prem (Ngarmchita) Purachatra The World's Eminent Personality in 2015
100th anniversary of the birth of Princess Prem (Ngarmchit) Purachatra (1915-1983) (Thailand) Princess Prem (Ngarmchit) Purachatra was a granddaughter-in-law of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) who was the grandfather of King Bhumibol (Rama IX). Princess Prem Purachatra had a notable impact on Thailand, particularly in the communication and culture sectors, as well as contributing to overall societal wellbeing. Her work to establish a leading English-language newspaper was an important development in modern journalism in Thailand. On the regional and global stage, she was an outstanding advocate for the role of women, serving as president of the International Council of Women during 1976-1979 (the first and only Thai woman, and the second Asean ever elected to the position). Some of the institutions that she founded, such as the Asean Handicraft Promotion and Development Association, continue to be partners in delivering UNESCO’s work to this day, which demonstrates their relevance and importance. It would be advantageous for UNESCO to associate with the anniversary and to endorse a positive female role-model who has made positive contributions to her country in general, and to some extent to the region.
