BCP women urged to increase quota

The call was made by Botswana Congress Party’s (BCP) Tebogo Dingake, on Friday at the party’s Women’s High Tea event held at the University of Botswana.

She emphasised the importance of achieving a 50% representation of women in Parliament and council seats, in line with international standards. While her party currently has a 30% female representation in its structures, Dingake stressed the need to advocate more strongly for women's representation in council and Parliament elections.
