  • When: June 22, 2017, 18:00 – 20:00

The presidential election is approaching and the names of potential candidates are gradually appearing. Some have officially announced their candidature. At the same time, various civic groups are attempting to find an “anti-Zeman” to take on the incumbent. The names have one thing in common: They are (almost) all men. Why has no distinctive female candidate yet appeared? And what kind of candidate would she need to be? Almost a century after women obtained suffrage it is time for the first female Czech president.

A panel debate on this subject will be chaired by journalist Silvie Lauder. Noteworthy female personalities have been invited (Vladimíra Dvořáková, Táňa Fischerová, Anna Hogenová and Hana Marvanová) though the composition of the panel is not definitive.

Event organised by Fórum 50 % and the Czech Women’s Lobby.
