This Women@DGAP event, which is organized in cooperation with the Polish Embassy in Berlin, will examine the role of women in addressing current challenges related to foreign and security policy and traditionalist agendas. The active political engagement of female voters in elections and their high turnout have proven to be crucial for maintaining the resilience of democracies. In countries where conservative views dominate, including many in Europe, the involvement of women can challenge norms and advance gender equality. Together with our panel, we will explore how female activism in politics and society can ensure that diverse perspectives can be heard, and balanced decisions can be made.
Welcome:
Pawel Gronow, Counsellor, Embassy of the Republic of Poland in the Federal Republic of Germany

Geraldine Schroeder, Member of the Board of DGAP
