Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila yesterday said Namibian women are still battling to get top jobs, with only 42% filling up such positions. Some of the women occupying top positions, however, told The Namibian that it is not a difficult thing to get top jobs, but to maintain it, one needed to work twice as hard as men.
Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, who is the country's first female Prime Minister, told those who attended the International Women's Day commemoration in Windhoek that the pace at which women are being employed at managerial levels is slow.
The International Women's Day is celebrated worldwide on 8 March, and brings together women to celebrate their social, economic, cultural and political achievements.
