Founder of The Human Constitution.
Thank you for being here.
My name is Maria Dolores, and I was born in Sweden. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by people — what makes us who we are, why we suffer, why we grow, and why some experiences divide us while others bring us together.
I studied sociology and psychology and worked for many years in HR, leadership, organizational development, and crisis management. Later, years in the funeral profession brought me back to one clear realization:
Beneath our differences, there is something profoundly human that connects us all.
The Human Constitution grew out of that listening. It is not a religion, political party or ideology, but a practical framework for reflecting on dignity, rights and responsibilities — beginning with the self and widening into relationship, society and life.
We are born with rights. We mature into responsibilities.
My hope is that these ideas can contribute to a future where dignity, compassion, and integrity are foundations available to all.
Warmly,
Maria Dolores
