“A testament to the success of this measure is that more girls are enrolling in primary and upper levels of education with an increasing high retention level. More women are also increasingly employed, recognized and given higher responsibilities in our public and private sectors. In fact, we achieved a historical milestone that is unprecedented in our political history by electing, for the first-time ever, three women National Parliamentarians at any one- time, in our recent National Election. This positive trend is also increasing at our lower levels of government.”
