Miss Women Empowerment management and contestants held a walk to the Gaborone Women Prison to have an interaction session this past weekend.

The founder of the pageant, Letsweletse Motshidiemang highlighted that the main focus of the pageant is to motivate and uplift women and going beyond to reach women in prisons. “Women in prisons are mothers, sisters and wives.
