Eglantina Gjermeni
Ambassador and Permanent Representative,
Permanent Mission of Albania to the International Organisations in Vienna
I believe that gender equality and women empowerment are key for a democratic, inclusive and sustainable society. I am pleased that in my country, today there is a significant percentage of women participation at decision making levels, including parliament, government, and other institutions at central and local level. Their contribution, expertise, experience, perspectives are important and valuable for Albania, and we do not have the luxury to lose them.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Ensure a gender balance and a work-life balance for employees, both women and men.
I will continue to be engaged in advocacy on gender equality through all areas of my work, including through official statements. I will also commit to spread awareness among other possible champions.
