Wither Women In Politics

It is a day of the strength that is a woman is observed. The day women are recognised, appreciated and celebrated. We have just done that, last week Wednesday.

But as it has become a norm in Botswana, such important days go by without much fanfare or ado. We wake up to an official statement, a gathering there, a speech by the Minister or some guest of honour, on rare occasion, a commitment to improve certain laws, policies and practices to ensure the gender equality.
