On March 8 of every year, the world usually gathers to reflect and celebrate women’s achievements. What is there to celebrate when it comes to women’s participation in the decision-making process of our country? According to the UN women, Liberia ranks 40 out of 54 African countries in terms of the number of women in parliament and 149 out of 191 countries worldwide. IWD is not only a time to celebrate women but also a time to call for change. It is time for our Legislature to swiftly revisit all those legislations that have failed in the past which ‘aimed’ to promote women’s political participation.
