More women in elected office means a successful government and a better world. Let’s do it! The mission of this documentary is to expand the talent pool of women running for office in Cyprus and to inspire more women to serve in the community. A nationwide community of women leaders are interviewed in Cyprus. Many are already community change-makers, leaders in their fields or workplaces and local and European office holders. “She Should Run-Cyprus” is the first documentary of the series “She Should Run- World”. Director’s Statement:
I believe that Women of all political leanings, ethnicity, and background should have an equal opportunity to lead through elected office. Our democracy will benefit from the varied perspectives and experiences that women bring to leadership. Through this film I want to inspire more women decide to run for an office in their community.
