On November 10 and 11, 2022, the Fons Mallorquí de Cooperació with the support of the Consell de Mallorca held the 1st International Meeting of Local Elected Women within the framework of development cooperation with the aim of creating a learning space for the exchange of experiences between elected women from the global south and north that allows in the long term to make visible the role and leadership of women in local politics.
Women from Palestine, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, Lebanon, Ukraine, Bolivia, Peru and Spain participated as listeners and shared their vision of local politics, the importance of increasing the participation of women in politics and the challenges that younger women who are starting their careers have to face.
