Dr Sepoe says: "Is 3 enough? She says (PM says) the number of women elected in the 2012 election is still not good enough. The global target is a critical mass of at least 30% of the total no. of MPs for women to influence decision-making and public policy. PNG has improved from 0.9 to 2.7% with the 3 women MPs, however, we still need many more women in Parliament. Reserved seats is still an option..."
I say stuff the global target! We work at our pace, and we get there when we get there. The UN can take its targets elsewhere. I want my country-ladies to beat my country-men fair and square.
Only then can they claim true equal voice. Just having a fair voice is nothing if that voice is not attained squarely. Our women can get there just give us time and let us do it our way: the PNG Way. We have to crawl before we can walk. We got 3 in this year. That's two better than last term. Next time we may do even better.
Stuff the 22seats. My mum and sisters don't like it. My well-educated female colleagues don't like it. And Delilah Gore doesn't like it. And These women are all PNGeans.
UN can shove its "global targets"...
Power to the women. True Power, not that imposed by UN-inspired policies for "equality".
The PNG Way is one of our Five Goals. I say we work it out and stick by it.
God Bless PNG! And the PNG Way
