Women Politicians Push Gender Issues

"I can see a lot of changes in the thinking of the party leadership. Gender oppression is one issue that is receiving a lot of attention from BNF leadership," said Lekoba, adding that a lot of BNF leaders are now "thinking outside the box." Gender issues have now become a component of BNF political education. She appreciated her party's latest move in recognising the interconnectedness between class theory and class oppression. She said since the BNF generally has a socialist leaning, the party is able to "analyse inequality on the basis of the tools of class theory and class oppression".

She appreciated the party's approach in merging the gender and class theories, then packaging them to enlighten the masses. This, she said, has now become a tool of analysis to explain societal inequalities.
