In a letter to the Institute, Deputy Spokesperson of the Republic of Lithuania's Parliament (Seimas) Česlovas Juršėnas officially congratulated the Institute on the occasion of its opening. In his message to the Institute, he made reference to the current patriarchal climate of today which clearly requires attention. His letter also made reference to the importance of gender equality in becoming a fundamental part of European values and of our daily lives.

"I am of the conviction that Institute will set us on the path to discovery, maturity and development which will in turn help the people of Europe to form the right value system. People's place in society should not be defined by their sex but rather by their capacity and efforts in constructing a just society."
