Monrovia – The Liberia Women Leaders Network (LWLN), the local chapter of the African Women Leaders Network (ALWN), was officially launched on Wednesday, December 18 in Monrovia. The launch, which took place at the Ministerial Complex in Congo Town, brought together women leaders from different spheres of society including government, political parties, traditional and the business community. The core values of the network includes: Human Rights and dignity of women, Gender Equality, Inclusivity, Non-partisanship, Impartiality, Integrity, Solidarity, Partnership and Local ownership. The initiative in Liberia is borne out of the “incessant low representation of women in decision making” and the need to cultivate and build synergies of strong current and former women leaders as well as young women. “As ambassadors of the African Women Leaders Network, we need to go out because your nation needs you now, your women leaders need you now; you cannot do anything less but be there for them.
