Africa is not left out in the struggle for gender balance and equality as it keeps searching for ways to deepen empowerment. The event, held at the Consulate of Cameroun in Lagos, themed ‘Gender Equality for a Sustainable Tomorrow’ was jointly organised by the Consulates of Cameroun, Sierra Leone and the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC). “We have made great progress with fighting for gender parity and it is up to us to further empower ourselves as women. In November 2017, Manga was appointed as the first female Consul General in the history of Cameroonian diplomacy. “Therefore we in South Africa realised that we need to develop legislature that allows for 50-50 participation,” Africa said.
