Namibia made it to the top 10 in global gender parity, ranking in eighth place. 

This was revealed in the 2024 Global Gender Gap Report of the World Economic Forum.

21 out of 35 economies are in the top 100, and Namibia stands out as a top-10 performer.

Activist and Director of Women’s Solidarity Namibia say that though Namibia ranks 8th on the World Economic Forum's list of countries that have managed to close the gender gap in leadership positions, we should still strive to empower women on the ground.
