European Commission Report Highlights Ukraine’s Gains in Governance, Reform and Resilience
7 November 2024
Visegrad Insight sat down with Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir director of OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iceland for a conversation about female leadership in diplomacy and security. In the early years of her political career, in 1982, Ms Gísladóttir was one of the founders of the Women’s Party, laying the ground for Iceland’s remarkable progress in gender equality. Magda Jakubowska interviews her as part of a series #WomenAreNATO.
Regarding your work at ODIHR, why is women’s engagement so essential? Are there any notable threats for women’s engagement which, if they are not overcome, could result in dire consequences?
Women’s engagement is vital for every society as they make up more than 50% of the population. Therefore, if you really want to have an inclusive society, a society where decisions are reflecting the realities of the population as a whole, then you have to have women included. How on earth should men be able to make decisions on the issues that are affecting half of the population without having their experience?
Men and women are different: they have different realities, different experiences. For this reason, it is vitally important that women participate in decision-making at all levels of society, so that our communities become more inclusive and reflect better the reality of the people that are living in them.
