Women's Expo An Assault On Unemployment -Tibone

"It is their way of taking on the challenge of poverty reduction and unemployment," the minister said.
He said that for those pursuing the gender agenda, the theme - 'Innovation and creativity: The Key for Women Entrepreneurs to Penetrate the Global Market' - demonstrates that contrary to what some may believe, "you need not to be a man to succeed and given the facts on the ground, that success is associated with women."

Tibone said that the government has come to the conclusion that the "marginalisation and disadvantage suffered by women, who are the majority, makes no economic, social or political sense". The minister explained that the exposition's theme was retained from last year, in order to make observations on the impact that the expositions make on the exhibitors in ensuring that their exhibits meet, not only national but also regional and international standards.
