...you mean politics? I'm not really fit to be a politician, really, so I don't know that I could really comment on solutions... just that it all is just... it's a terrible shame.
...ah, and I'm Lady Jane Wiltshire—I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, either. Honestly, you can just call me Jane—it feels a bit strange to demand people call me by a title when I'm largely consumed with motherhood and charity work.
But, ah... has anyone really mistreated her? Of course, there was Shaptash, which she brought up, but Parliament was heavily criticized for that, and Parhoon's been prosperous ever since Queen Victoria was made regent...
Names were never mentioned, but it should come as no surprise that in her youth, terran men would rather see her as a pet rather than an individual with her own thoughts and feelings.
[ her forehead creases for a moment, as if unsure what to say, and then her expression softens. ]
Ah... so you know her, too. I... suppose I'm glad she has people she can confide in. Even if it's not me.
...oh, but—I run a house in Whitechapel for women, to give them resources—even if the status of women has changed in law, it's still... certainly far from equal. It's hard to get people to prioritize, though, and I'm not taken seriously quite often...
We've worked together before. Commiseration tends to come up, as that situation is unfortunately one nearly any female on Earth or Mars can relate to. However, I'm glad to hear there are philanthropists like you who can lend aid.
Ah... well, if you happen to have any influence over high or low society... or money, actually. I do have an allowance from my family's estate, but we could always use more.
Of course, I'd be happy to give you a favor or two in return!
[ she will trade 2x "honor the cause of your kiima" influence for every one high society, low society, or monetary you give her. ]

How the concerns could be mitigated?

...I just don't know what to think, now, after all she's done.

I'm Yvette, by the way. I sincerely apologize for being remiss in asking for your name.

You mentioned a charity?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM
Is there any way I can help with that?

[ Monetary influence x 1 it is ]
