Liberia: Ambassador Greenfield Dismisses Women's 30 Percent Legislative Seats Demand

Women groups have been battling to enact laws that seek to preserve 30% of all legislative and political posts exclusively for women. After losing a major battle last March in the senate for the passage of a legislation seeking gender equity in political posts, they vowed never to relent.

I don't know if there will ever come a day when women no longer have to fight for equal rights, whether it be in pay or elsewhere. I hope it does happen but it seems that there is always a country that does not recognize women.
