PRESS RELEASE

A conversation with PNTL’s Dili Commander: a beacon of hope for the next generation of women leaders

Dili, 28 April 2023 –  CARE’s Lafaek project invites the Dili Commander of Timor-Leste National Police (PNTL), Ms. Natercia Eufrasia Martins to join the discussion on the project’s Young Journalist platform. Over the years, Ms Natercia has steadily advanced in her position as a police officer in the male dominated arena. In 2019, she became the first municipal female police commander and served her duty in Liquiça and recently in 2022, she was appointed the commander for Dili.

As male leadership is predominant in peace and security forces, women’s needs and priorities can be overlooked due to a lack of representation at decision-making levels. Women’s leadership is a key component of CARE’s projects; we encourage and promote women’s leadership at all levels of society as we firmly believe women should meaningfully participate in decisions that affect their lives. Such an example is reflected in the Lafaek’s Young Journalist activity, where schoolchildren get the opportunity to directly interview Timorese influential women leaders who have overcome the barriers to women’s leadership.

This initiative aims to highlight the value of women’s leadership, allowing schoolchildren to understand their role within society and inspire them to become future leaders.

The content from the interview will be packaged in the upcoming Lafaek Prima magazine edition and shared in community dialogue sessions across municipalities in Timor-Leste. Ms. Natercia’s story is a beacon of hope for the next generation of women leaders.
