A host of women's organizations in the eastern district town of Kailahun on Saturday took to the streets in protest of what they considered as the "continuous marginalization of women from participating in mainstream politics"; a development they said is also restricting them from making meaningfully contribution to the socio-economic and political development of the country.
A community-based organization, the Kailahun Women in Governance Network, has partnered with the Social Enterprise Development (SEND) to develop what is known as the 'Kailahun district women's manifesto for 2012', specially designed for female candidates contesting the forthcoming presidential, parliamentary and local council elections.
