Stáňa Bašatová

Stáňa gave birth to children afflicted by clubfoot. She founded Achilleus, the first Czech information website and civic association about the condition. Her goal was to create a supportive community for parents. Ten years later, there are more than 550 parents actively sharing knowledge, experiences, and resources. Through Spiralis's half-year program for women leaders, Stáňa learned to rediscover herself, and to appreciate her strengths and abilities. She learned how to be a visible and vocal partner to doctors and other professionals by asking questions, offering her perspective, and collaborating when clear answers are hard to obtain. She gave up her professional career, in order to provide hope to others. Now this year, she is nominated for the annual Czech Woman of the Year competition
