Liberia: Ex-Sierra Leonean Envoy Calls for Unity Among Women

Former Sierra Leonean Ambassador to Liberia Madam Marie Jilo Barnet, says with unity among the women they can do better in every aspect of their activities, noting "Today I see many women are now contesting for political offices, it is good because if you don't put yourself in the position to stand on your own as leader for your various houses, men will not do it all the time."

Ambassador Barnet said the essence of women seeking leadership position is to give them courage to partake in every decision making process that will occur in the country. She noted that unity among women plays a significant role in any political activities in the country because according to her, once you cannot identify yourself with other women there is no way one can win an election.
