The Festival of Democracy: Time for the First Female Czech President

9. 10. 2018

Česká ženská lobby and Fórum 50 % co-organize panel discussion Time for the First Female Czech President.

It will take place on Tuesday, 9nd October in Vaclav Havel Library (Ostrovní 13. 110 00)

Almost a century after women received suffrage is it time for the first female Czech president? Why have we never had a female head of state? Do women face barriers in politics? What can we do to ensure that more women stand in future presidential elections? The equality of women and men in political decision-making is an integral element of democratic values and a democratic society. Let’s discuss it together. 

Confirmed participants:

  • Atifete Jahjaga (female president of Kosovo) 
  • Michal Horáček (candidate in the 2018 presidential elections)
  • Kateřina Valachová (member of the Chamber of Deputies, minister of education, youth and sports 2015 - 2017 )
  • Ivan Gabal (sociologist, member of the Chamber of Deputies 2013 - 2017)
  • Veronika Šprincová (director of Fórum 50 %)

The discussion will be moderated by Alena Červenková.
