Joseph Muscat

We need more women in Parliament and as political leaders because strong democracies depend on the representation of society’s different perspectives and the nuances brought by diverse leaders to policy formulation and decision-making. As the Prime Minister of Malta, I declared my government’s feminist conviction soon after I took office, as I am sure that our country’s strength and growth will depend on our ability to allow and encourage women and minorities to claim their space and make the most of their potential.

My government is firmly committed towards a full realization of the advancement of women and their rights, and towards gender balanced leadership. I auger, that this campaign will serve the leave the desired impact on the advancement of the political empowerment of women.
