The former Parc des Acacias in Geneva has been renamed to honour the services of Save the Children founder Eglantyne Jebb. Jebb lived in Geneva in the 1920s, and wrote the "Déclaration de Genève" - the first convention on children's rights - endorsed by the League of Nations in 1924. The renaming of the park is part of the 100Elles project, which aims to bring more recognition to influential women in Geneva’s history.
