[Brussels, 4 August 2021] The European Women’s Lobby welcomes the decision of its Executive Committee to offer the position of Acting Interim Coordinator to Mae Ocampo, EWL Programme Director until the new EWL Secretary General takes position in the coming months. Mae will be taking over from Secretary General Joanna Maycock, who leaves EWL after 7 years of excellent work for women’s rights in Europe and equality between women and men.
Mae Ocampo joined EWL in 2018 as Programme Director. She is responsible for EWL’s sustainability, resilience and organisational development. She has contributed to ensuring that EWL’s operations and activities are cohesive, sustainably resourced and funded, and that a nurturing process for internal resource mobilisation is in place to support our members’ collective work and in building our capacity. Under Mae’s leadership, our internal systems and processes have been strengthened and developed where needed in order for EWL to continue to effectively deliver on its commitments. As a feminist and women’s and human rights activist, Mae is very active in fighting against sexual exploitation, systemic racism, injustices against marginalised peoples, environmental injustice, and many more.
