We need more women as political leaders because their participation in politics and governance is essential in a democracy. More women in leadership positions ensures progress in policy areas essential for social and economic growth. The Government of Botswana is committed to ensuring a sustainable and inclusive society that recognizes women’s role in development. We have made significant strides on issues of women empowerment and are committed to breaking down barriers through appointments of women in leadership positions across all sectors.
