Lack of female representation in Cabinet worrying
Caribbean Women in Leadership Bahamas Chapter (CIWiL) and its executives and membership are very concerned about the resignation of Lanisha Rolle from Cabinet and the subsequent replacement by a male parliamentarian.
CIWiL is a non-partisan and independent nongovernmental organization, established to monitor and strengthen the work of increasing women’s political participation in the region through advocacy, networking, research and capacity building.
CIWiL, in partnership with the Department of Gender and Family Affairs and other non-governmental organizations, led a Women in Parliament Session on December 11, 2020.
More than 30 women, representing civil society, non-governmental organizations and the government sector, maximized the opportunity to present a resolution to increase women’s representation in Parliament.
