President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has paid tribute to women, saying that as Namibia marks Women’s Day, “we must begin by recognising the historic role that Namibian women played in the liberation struggle.”

Women have played a pivotal role in shaping Namibia's history during the liberation struggle and in nation-building efforts.

Studies have shown that when women are involved in decision-making, the outcome tends to be highly inclusive and reflective of the needs of diverse communities.
