Over in the past few months, incidences of women being oppressed have surfaced time and again. From women being subjected to gender-based violence to being abused and raped in quarantine centres to having an all-male ruling party secretariat deciding on a crucial aspect of the citizenship bill that largely concerns the interest of women, local and world news have been rife with issues of gender-based inequalities.

Being mindful about the vulnerabilities the pandemic has exasperated for women around the world, the WOW Foundation, a charity working to build a global movement celebrating women and girls, hosted a global-scale online festival for 24 hours titled WOW Global 24. The festival is a response to the world’s current events impacting the lives of all women and girls. And a platform to bring together the voice of all women amid the pandemic that has been pummeling their concerns and efforts.

“Now more than ever, we need to find community: to connect women, civil society and governments and make women’s stories central to future planning across the globe. This is an opportunity to join hands, listen and ask what do we need to change and how,” said Jude Kelly, the founder of The WOW (Women of the World) Foundation, in continuing the festival virtually, as Covid-19 still curtails movement.

UN Women in partnership with the African Women Leaders Network Liberia Chapter (AWLN-Liberia) has embarked on a consultative meeting with representatives of the women’s wings of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) to discuss advocacy strategies for the approval of gender provisions in the electoral law amendments submitted by National Elections Commission (NEC) to the Legislature.

The meeting, which took place last Friday, July 3, at a local resort in Monrovia, was held under the theme, “Enhancing Women’s Participation in Governance: Focus on Electoral Law Reform and Integrating Women into Political Party Structures.”

UN Women, under the Women Political Empowerment and Leadership Project, with funding from the Government of Canada, provided support for the meeting. The meeting was the first of three meetings that will be held with leaders of women’s wings of political parties in Liberia.

The provisions in the law will facilitate an enabling environment for the participation of women in politics, including Senatorial elections to be held in December this year.
