Online Database of Female Experts in Czech Foreign Policy is here!
The on-line Database was created in response to manels (panels occupied solely by men), which are still very frequent in public debates, even though we live in the 21st century and the unequal representation of men and women in public space should no longer be acceptable. Therefore, AMO decided to show that women – experts are here and they want to be heard in all spheres of society. We hope that the Database will be used (and not only) in the creation of panels in public debates, or in search for experts to express their opinions in the media. If you are a female expert in any given field overlapping Czech Foreign Policy, please, do not hesitate to join the Database!
