Hauser, Monika

Founder and Executive Member of the Managing Board of Medica Mondiale

Monika Hauser was born in Switzerland in 1959 as an Italian citizen. She studied medicine in Innsbruck and Bologna, completing her specialization in gynecology in 1989. From 1992 to 1994 she planned and set up Medica Zenica, a women’s therapy center, together with Bosnian women experts. The organization gradually evolved into medica mondiale, which has been operating as a feminist human rights and aid organization since 1993. It has provided support to women in more than 20 countries during that time.

In 2008 Hauser was awarded the Alternative Nobel Prize. For more information please refer to www.medicamondiale.org.
