A conglomeration of Liberian women from diverse backgrounds have called on political parties to fully implement the Memorandum of Understanding they sign with the National Elections Commission (NEC) to fully implement Section 4.5 of the Elections Law of Liberia.

On 6-9 July, the Alliance of Her held its first summer retreat, gathering passionate young women in politics from across Europe.

The retreat brought together 20 young female liberal leaders under 30, representing 20 liberal parties from 16 countries at the Domaine de Ronchinne in Belgium. Engaging sessions were led by experts including Estonian Member of Parliament Yoko Alender, from ALDE Party member Reformierakond, as well as several guest speakers.

A town hall Tuesday night featuring women in politics had a clear message: More women need to get involved from running for elective office to helping candidates get elected.

“We know women are underrepresented in public leadership roles in Missouri, Kansas, and across the country,” said Claire Bishop, Executive Director and COO of American Public Square at Jewell.

WOMEN Action Group (WAG) says economic challenges and cyberbullying are deterring women from actively participating in political and electoral processes.

Speaking during WAG’s 40th anniversary celebration in Harare yesterday, WAG executive director Edinah Masiyiwa, said there were still many challenges militating against women’s full enjoyment of their rights.
