Question Unanswered: Why are there not more women?

Sponsor's Message
I have always wondered: Why are there not more women in senior positions in Namibian politics and busainess? I mean there is all this talk and commitment to gender equality and son on, but why does it not happen? As a woman I feel more could and should be done to get womein into leadership positions, but I just don't know why it is not happening in Namibia? Is it because the men's network keep them out? Is it because there are not enough talented and competent womein (which I incidentally do not believe at all). Is it actualyl discrimination on the part of the people in the political parties who select candidates to stand in elections, or for positions? What's going on?

Default Re: Why are there not more women?

We need to start off with knowing , what we can do to maintain this equality!
Starting off at the grass roots levels, at home!

Are we doing it, are we educating our young girls that they are at the same "level" as men?
