International Women’s Day: A call to unite :: Mmegi Online

Women have being called to unite, support each other and get out of their comfort zones, to make deeper inroads into the male world of businesses, politics and careers. As Botswana joined the world in commemorating International Women’s Day (IWD) on Wednesday, everyone agreed that the dream to equality is still far away, reports Mmegi Correspondent, NNASARETHA KGAMANYANE

Itumeleng Ward councillor, who is also a popular media personality, Motamma Horatius, says women should not just fight for space in the male-dominated world, but actually seek to lead it, while groom other women to follow suit.

Horatius was speaking on Wednesday evening as local women entrepreneurs from various sectors, gathered to commemorate International Women’s Day in Gaborone. The event was held under the ambit of Mrs Botswana Pageant, a local annual beauty and brains competition for married women.
