Angola
Women claim 50 percent of country's decision making posts

Luanda - Angolan women, particularly those in Government, want to reach equality in the number of decision makers in the coming years, the minister of Familiy and Woman Promotion, Genoveva Lino, said Wednesday in Luanda.


Addressing a press conference, Genoveva Lino acknowledged that the number of female decision makers has been increasing, reaching now 30 percent, which she admits to be an improvement, but not enough, since women have always played important roles in the country's development.


The minister was presenting to the press the "March Woman" program groing from March 01-13, as part of the celebrations of the Angolan woman day (March 02) and the international woman day (March 31).


The central event of the celebrations starting on Thursday will take place in central Benguela province, under the motto "Angolan woman more rigour and transparency and better governance", while the launch of three books and lectures about the legislation on violence in gender are included in the expected activities.
