Empress Menen Speaks On War to
The World Women Association, September 13,
1928:
"...War is distress and trouble of mankind;  war
victimizes our husbands, brothers and children;
war is a destruction of the family and can make
people immigrant; women are against war.  We
know that all Italian mothers and barren women
may worry about the war, since war is good for
nothing.  Therefore, all women found in the world
should prevent war before it brings trouble and
distress.  They should collaborate their voice and
request (speak out)  to avoid war before the
bloodshed comes on both sides.  ...All women of the
world should struggle to bring peace and  justice."
In the Spirit of
Empress Menen
Queen of Queens of Judah (aethiopia)
Beloved Wife of Emperor Haile Selassie I
King of Kings and Lord of Lords of Ethiopia
Empress Menen, Queen of Queens of Ethiopia was married for 47 years to the
225th King of Kings and Lord of Lords of Judah (Ethiopia): Emperor Haile Selassie I; their
union produced 6 children.  
Empress Menen  was actively involved in humanitarian work and
endeavors; she visited the sick in hospitals, gave of her personal funds to churches and monastaries that
served the poor, built schools for girls and officiated ceremonies for the opening  of schools, churches,
hospitals and orphaneges.   Always mindful of the poor, sick and homeless, Empress Menen  built many
churches with proceeds from her personal account, and she also gave large parcels of land from her
personal estate to the Church and monastaries who served the poor.  

Empress Menen had a warm compassionate spirit and was loved by all.  She was refered to as a
"God fearing Empress" who was always praying to God.  Every Friday she went to Church to make
special prayers and to greet monks and nuns from different churches and monastaries.  Empress Menen
and her husband, Empreror Haile Selassie both believed that Ethiopia's progress was linked to
education, and as a result, they build many schools (Emperor Haile Selassie built schools for boys and
Empress Menen built the schools for girls).   On July 10, 1939, Empress Menen sent her Crown to
Bethelem Church where they say Christ was born.  During the time of the Ethiopian Holocaust
1935-1941, she mobailized Ethiopian women for war, prepared statistical military reports, advised and
encouraged the Ethiopian people to perservere, and contributed funds to the families of Ethiopian
patriots of war.
