iKNOW Politics partners invite you to attend the NORWEGIAN LAUNCH of the Film: Testimonials from Women political Leaders
Tuesday May 26, 2009
16:00 - 17:30
Fafo Auditorium, Borgatta 2B, Oslo
Introduction by: Fredrik Arthur, Norwegian Ambassador for Women’s Rights and Gender Equality
Closing remarks: Bjørn Førde, Director of the UNDP Oslo Governance Center

The film highlights the cases of prominent women leaders from Burundi, Canada, Ireland, Jordan, Namibia, Norway, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa and Uganda. In each of the profiled testimonials, women share their personal journeys in politics and strategies on how to succeed in it. The goal of the film is to showcase the successful paths of women in politics, to encourage other women to enter politics illustrating that it is not an unattainable realm for them, and to create role models for women.
