She emphasised that women’s voices are crucial in shaping national decisions.
“Women must make their voices heard at every level of policy formulation. Fear must never be a barrier to participation or leadership. Our insights matter, and they must shape the decisions that affect our lives and our nation,” she stated.
The Vice President further highlighted the importance of building the capacity of the next generation.
“I added that it was important to avoid the early compartmentalization of children into narrow disciplines. Instead, we must build a strong foundation through liberal education, equipping young people with critical thinking skills that allow them to adapt as the world and its demands evolve rapidly,” she added.
