Big up to ANCWL for successfully lobbying for gender parity

To many, this milestone would rather translate into better legislative reforms and policies that serve women and children.

My greatest fear is that even as women swell powerful ranks in government this may not necessarily mean success will filter down to women facing poverty and hardship. For instance, does gender parity mean that finally maternity leave benefits will be afforded to all women? Our current labour laws provides for unpaid maternity leave. Will there be a concerted effort to make our universities and colleges violent free and free from sexual violence?

It will be wonderful to see a justice system working for women and society so that our people understand that just because a woman retracts her rape complaint to the police, doesn't mean the rape did not take place.

We hope that our government remembers that women in rural areas are still not allowed to own land despite being the ones that work the land. You catch my drift?

Yes! Capabilities and experience should not count! we only want 50/50.....🤔
