Councillor thinks more work needs to be done on gender equality
The councillor responsible for culture on Brava said today that more work needs to be done on gender equality on the island, so that there is a more inclusive policy where women can feel valued.
However, she stressed that others do not play their role in society as they would like because they are not employed, with the majority of women on Brava being domestic servants.
"However, many don't really feel included in society, since they say they are domestic and their work is at home looking after the child and the home, and so we still have a big problem, considering that women in this century still have this way of thinking," she stressed.
The municipality, said the councillor, is working on the issue of gender equality and has played its part, in partnership with other institutions, to value and highlight the importance of this gender in society.
Andrade ended by congratulating all Cape Verdean women and emphasized that women's day is not just today, but every day, as they play a fundamental role in society.
