IWDU Global Leaders’ Meeting, Marrakech

The International Women’s Democracy Union convened its Global Leaders’ Meeting in Marrakech, bringing together 30 women from four continents – parliamentarians, ministers, strategists, and rising centre-right leaders. The gathering proved to be exactly the kind of substantive exchange the IWDU exists to foster. Participants debated whether the West is losing the Global South, drawing on perspectives from Morocco, Croatia, Italy, and Kenya that no single region could provide alone. Women who have held executive power shared candid, personal reflections on leadership – lessons that go beyond any policy brief. Ukrainian and Moroccan MPs joined the conversation on today’s geopolitical realities, mapping a fractured world order that demands a confident centre-right response. The meeting concluded with the adoption of the Marrakech Declaration, a centre-right women’s policy framework built around the principles of dignity, opportunity, family, and freedom of choice. The IWDU extends its sincere thanks to the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Maroc et Mauritanie for their partnership, and to the Istiqlal Party and RNI Morocco for their generous hospitality.
