Cyprus’s Digital Archive of Women Politicians is gaining a dedicated section for women who have served, or currently serve, as mayors. The Office of the Commissioner for Gender Equality announced the update on 12 November.
New ministers, deputy ministers and commissioners have also been added, along with new members of the House of Representatives. The archive records women’s presence in Cyprus’s political life from the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus to the present.
The local-government section broadens the record beyond positions in central government and parliament. It includes both women currently holding mayoral office and those who held the role in previous periods.
The office said the update strengthens the archive’s role as a reference point for women’s participation in public life. The new section brings together their presence at different levels of government: central administration, the House of Representatives and municipalities.
