“The Chosen Ones” will bring representatives from Bolivia, Lebanon, Palestine, Niger, Peru, Senegal, Morocco, Sweden and Ukraine.
Thursday 10 November sees the start of The Chosen Ones: International Meeting of Elected Women, which will bring together women in elected office from all over the world in Mallorca. In particular, political representatives from countries such as Bolivia, Lebanon, Palestine, Niger, Peru, Senegal, Morocco, Sweden and Ukraine will participate. All female mayors and councillors of Mallorca are also invited.
The meeting of the chosen women will take place between the 10th and 12th of November, at the headquarters of the Sa Nostra Foundation in Palma, at Carrer de la Concepció, 12.
The aim of this first International Meeting of Elected Women is to make women’s participation in decision-making visible, create collaborative networks and promote gender-equitable leadership in political and public life, which is essential to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 of the 2030 Agenda.
The president of the Council of Mallorca, Catalina Cladera, encourages all women in public office in Mallorca to participate. “The role of women in institutions and in public life is very important. International statistics tell us that there is still a long way to go. That is why we must make it visible and why the Fondo Mallorquín de Cooperación has organised this meeting of elected women,” says Cladera. This is an unprecedented event, as it will be the first time that Mallorca will be the setting for a conference that will bring together elected women from all over the world.
