Josipa Palac
President,
International Cultural Diversity Organization (ICDO)
As a President of ICDO, I continue to incorporate gender equality as one of the goals in all of our projects worldwide because I strongly believe that with gender equality, diversity, inclusion and human rights we can achieve the goals of sustainable development and betterment of society at large. Only by taking action we can create a real change in society and I invite everyone to join and support our efforts.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
I commit to coaching, mentoring, and empowering women from indigenous and marginalized communities involved in ICDO’s projects, with the aim of supporting their leadership potential, strengthening community initiatives, and fostering both personal and professional growth.
To advance this commitment, I will:
Design and facilitate workshops and capacity-building activities that provide women with access to practical knowledge, including legal awareness, financial literacy, and essential resources, reaching women from indigenous and marginalized communities.
Mentor at least one woman from an indigenous community participating in ICDO’s projects, offering individual guidance, skills development, and sustained support to enhance her confidence, opportunities, and leadership journey.
I commit to use my position of President of ICDO to support, raise awareness and advocate for the protection of young women in all my public engagements and take more decisive action in the areas of the world where women are excluded from positions of power and decision-making.
