THEATRE 3
After the screening of Merkel

With: Sandra Benčić, Jadranka Kosor, Katarina Peović
Host: Ivana Dragičević

Although she declared herself as feminist only towards the end of her term of office, Angel Merkel, a polarising political figure and one of the most powerful women in the world, greatly changed the way women are perceived in the highest ranks. However, women are still not equally represented in politics in most European countries, and in Croatia there is an extreme underrepresentation of women in managerial positions. This is a symptom of democracy crisis, because an appropriate representation of women in politics results in a more successful organisation and community. In this panel we will take a look on the position of women in politics, the challenges they face and the obstacles they had to overcome to perform leading roles in politics.
