Mary T. Broh, 63rd Orator, Armed Forces of Liberia DayMonrovia – The 63rd Armed Forces Day orator, General Services Agency (GSA) Director General Mary T. Broh was blunt in calling on the leadership of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) to also include women serving the forces in high ranking positions. “When we look at the role of women in Liberia and look at the statistic, we need to step up the representation of women in the AFL. She believes, one way to improve the opportunities of women in the army is by incorporating them into peacekeeping missions. “Today, we have gathered to celebrate the 63rd edition of the Armed Forces Day of Liberia; some people out there will be wondering why we should celebrate, when the country is faced with serious economic challenges. Her appointment gave rise to the formation of the Women Auxiliary Corps in 1977 with 46 women, almost a platoon size, being recruited.
