I'm very proud of what I've done. I never thought I would become a grassroots woman, but I've managed to save many young people, families, and even adults in difficulty. That's why I must continue. I have two to three conferences a week, my schedule is very busy, but I don't give up. As long as I'm healthy! It's a mission I have today. My children and my husband help me a lot. If that weren't the case, it would be difficult for me. And I hope that when I no longer have the strength, someone will take up the torch. We need women and men in the field. The only thing I regret is that I don't see my grandchildren much because I travel so often. And yes, I stay in touch with young people, I don't forget them. I contact them when there are difficult times, I help them. I lost a son, but today, I have many children.

Additional quotes by Latifa Ibn Ziaten

It's so hard... When the end of February comes, it's the hardest for me. No one can fill that void. Despite all the good I do, the projects and messages of peace I convey, there's this pain inside, the pain of a mother that will never go away. But my children fill me with happiness. My son had a baby last month, it warmed my heart, I'm very happy.
