I welcome the announcement by @MinisterManty - Minister of Gender and Children's Affairs of @PresidentBio’s Cabinet approval of the 'Gender Empowerment Bill’. #SierraLeone
According to the announcement, the building blocks of the proposed Bill include an affirmative action clause that guarantees 30% women's representation in parliament and access to finance for women. #GenderEmpowermentBill2021
These provisions are consistent with the @NGCSierraleone’s progressive agenda. Our party will support them. I look forward to seeing the Bill and working with the government and colleagues in parliament to ensure its speedy passage. #SierraLeone#OpenthePoliticalSpace
