Charge = inner drive?

Hello everyone!

This is from a video in which an indigenous lady (but with good English, as far as I can tell) talks about her working to heal the wounds that have been created by the atrocities commited against other indigenous people. She attends global gatherings related to this topic, and such.

She starts to talk about all this like this: "Global wounding seems to be a global phenomenon at this point. And so I have a charge to work on this global wounding."

Charge (among other meanings of course) could mean that someone assigned her the task to work on this global wound. But she never mentions anything like that. So my next best guess is that she means that she has an inner emotional drive to do this.

Could someone please help me if this interpretation is correct?

Thank you for any replies in advance!
