CHAMPIONING GENDER EQUALITY


CHAMPIONING GENDER EQUALITY: President Nangolo Mbumba highlighted Namibia’s commitment to gender equality while addressing the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA79) in New York, United States, this week. He pointed out that Namibia remains one of the top nine countries in the world to have closed at least 80% of the gender gap. “In the past 12 months, we have achieved perfect parity in the National Assembly, where 50% of representatives are women,” he said. The president also mentioned that Namibia is preparing for elections in November, with SWAPO among the political parties that have nominated a female presidential candidate. “We hope that the United Nations will have a female Secretary-General in the near future,” President Mbumba added.
