President Klaus Iohannis on Wednesday asserted that 70 percent of the Romanian institutions will have equality gender experts by 2020. "In Romania, we are fully committed to backing an integrating approach of the equality gender as a key-element to promoting sensitive policies to the equality gender problematic and as a strong protection and support instrument for the domestic victims' violence," said Iohannis at the launch of the "HeForShe 10x10x10 Impact Champions Joint Report'' that is promoting equal opportunities for women and men.

He said that since 2015, when Romania joined the HeForShe Impact Champions initiative, several significant progresses took place as regards the gender equality. In this respect, Iohannis mentioned one of the impact commitments enforced in Romania, namely the creation of a new profession - the gender equality expert. "The need to implement this new profession came after acknowledging the fact that only an institutionalised effort could lead to the concrete, quantifiable mentality change. We found that we need to transform this initiative into an approach of the entire government," said Iohannis.

Iohannis added that so far 1,100 people with the local and central public administration were trained as specialists in gender equality. "As many as 70 percent of the national and local public bodies in Romnaia will have experts in gender equality by 2020," said Klaus Iohannis, adding that currently a New Strategy is worked on regarding the gender equality promotion and the prevention and combating the domestic violence for the 2018-2020 period and on the Plan to enforcing it, too.

President Iohannis said that this strategy will focus on fathering a national network of experts in this field. He specified that in November he will grant his high patronage as Romania President and Champion of Impact HeForShe to a conference on women's entrepreneurship and economic empowerment to be staged in Bucharest together with the International Organisation of the La Francophonie. "This conference will be an opportunity for 400 Francophone business women in 80 countries worldwide to get involved in the debate and share experiences and good practices. As a result of this event, a platform-network will be created to allow the participants to continue the debates started in Bucharest," said Iohannis.

"We've come very far, and yet we have a lot of work further. I invite all of you to assume this challenge, because there is no activity sector wherein an integrating approach of the gender dimension is not necessary! Therefore, let's change things together!" Iohannis told the participants in the event, that was also attended by the presidents of Finland and Malawi, alongside the Japanese Prime Minister.
