BDP women�s league is out of line

Last week the male majority of Kenyan Parliament voted into law a bill on polygamy, which among other things denies the incumbent wives the right to consultation when their husbands take another wife. This move by the male dominated Kenyan parliament is a clear violation of women´s human rights and gender equality principles. Hence, BCPWL´s expectation that the BDPWL-- supposedly a women´s rights advocacy group within the ruling Botswana Democratic Party-- would not only show solidarity with fellow women in Kenya, but also with the gender equality agenda by inviting a guest speaker whose government supports the rights of women.
