Alina-Ştefania Gorghiu

Alina-Ştefania Gorghiu, Minister of Justice: “Gender equality has evolved from being a desideratum to being a necessity. As a fundamental human right, It is also a mandatory world goal in assuring the healthy evolution of society and prosperity. I am confident that the future will bring us closer to gender equality and women’s everyday experience shows us it is an ongoing process. As WPL Ambassador for Romania, I plead for equality of rights and opportunity and emphasize the importance of women in politics. I believe that women are efficient political leaders and I believe that is a shared responsibility!”
