However, for us in the Namibian Police Force we have come a long way towards gender equality even though there is still a long and hard journey ahead.<br \/>\nWith the adoption of the National Gender Policy, policing was made easy and thus today we have a woman Major General, one woman piloting our helicopters, two women as regional commanders, two women as head of directorates, we have women shift commanders, women drivers, women serving in peacekeeping operations and many women leading in other capacities. I can assure you that our commitment in promoting women\u2019s development and advancement in the Namibian Police Force will be strengthened in the years to come.<br \/>\nToday on International Women\u2019s Day, I also want to reiterate that national call to end gender based violence especially violence against women and children which is perpetrated predominantly by men. I implore all men to end violence and be accountable.<br \/>\nWith these few words allow me to express my sincere appreciation to all women police officers as we join the rest of the world in celebrating International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Reporter The increasingly important role women play in Namibian law enforcement can no longer be ignored and is setting an example to countries where gender equality is still lagging behind.
