EMPOWERING CONVERSATION WITH WOMEN
2. Efforts should focus on building on the progress made and this requires critical thinking and strategic approach.
I recommend attention should be focused on eliminating any threat to the successes recorded so far.
I recommend that the campaign for change of mindset should start with women. They should stop seeing themselves as women rather assert their professional status and competences.
3. Successful women should commit to empowering less privileged women.
4. WACIN/ WAG should seek collaboration and partnership towards empowering less privileged women, improving the participation of credible, competent women and youths in our politics,leadership and public sector.
