Following the outcome of Timor-Leste’s parliamentary election in 2023, H.E. Maria Fernanda Lay made history as she was pronounced the first female President of National Parliament in the country. This accomplishment marked another milestone in the country’s commitment to advancing women in leadership and decision-making arena.
As part of CARE’s commitment to supporting the Government of Timor-Leste to progressing gender equality, the Lafaek project implements the Jornalista Foinsa’e activity with the objective to establish a platform where young women and girls have the opportunity to converse and connect with influential women public figures.
On 24 November 2023, the Lafaek team has organised an interview session with H.E. Maria Fernanda Lay and two youth representatives from the national people with disabilities organisation, Ra’es Hadomi Timor Oan (RHTO). In this activity, the youth will take on the role of being a journalist for the day and discuss the role of the President of the National Parliament, and the commitment to ensuring all laws, policies, programs and activities implemented by the government and civil society are gender-sensitive and inclusive. CARE believes that promoting women in leadership and sharing stories of successful women is crucial to inspiring the next generation of women leaders in the country. The content from the interview will be published in the Lafaek ba Komunidade, the interview will be broadcasted on GMN TV and the Lafaek Facebook.
