Unlike other villages we visited before, Ballancë has two women as part of the village council who represent their neighborhoods.

“Women’s involvement in decision-making” was the topic discussed with the inhabitants of the village of Ballanca in Vitia municipality.

Many men and women from this village were interested in taking part in this meeting. The discussion focused mainly on the involvement of women as members of village councils, and equal opportunities for women and men in the position of chairman and chairwoman and in membership. The two women part of this council were inspired by other women present at this meeting after pointing to their experience in these tips, alluding to not having encountered any difficulty or unequal treatment by other members and the mayor.
