Jeanne Devos, I.C.M., (1935-) is a Belgian Religious Sister and missionary who has spent her adult life serving the neediest people in India. She founded the National Domestic Workers Movement, established to advocate for one of the most powerless segments of society. For her work, she has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. ==Life==
Devos was born in 1935 in Kortenaken, a village in the Province of Flemish Brabant. She attended the Heilig Hartinstituut (School of the Holy Heart of Mary) in Heverlee, run by the Apostolic Sisters of the Annunciation, an active offshoot of the Order of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an enclosed religious order.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Sisters of the Annunciation of Heverlee )〕 As a teenager, she became introduced to the writings of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore, from which she felt called to serve God in India. To follow this dream, in 1960 Devos entered the religious congregation of the Missionary Canonesses of St. Augustine--now the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary--which had been founded in India by 1897, and whose General Motherhouse was located in Heverlee at that time. After completing the novitiate of the congregation, in order to prepare for service in the missions she was sent to be trained as a speech therapist. In 1965 she was sent to the missions of the congregation in Bombay, India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=PeaceWomen across the Globe )〕
