Nampol's Deputy Inspector General for Administration says it is important that Namibia understands the need for gender mainstreaming, as women and men have different experiences, needs, and priorities.

Major General Anna-Marie Nainda says failure to recognize and address these differences may lead to inequalities.

She was speaking during the two-day Gender Mainstreaming Workshop being held at Swakopmund.

NamPol's Deputy Inspector General for Administration, Major General Anna-Marie Nainda, has been elected as a Delegate for Africa and a member of the InterPol Executive Committee.

She was elected at the 90th Interpol General Assembly in New Delhi, India.

It was a celebratory atmosphere at the Hosea Kutako International Airport as NamPol's Inspector General, Lieutenant General Josef Shikongo, and Deputy Inspector General for Administration, Major General Anna-Marie Nainda, disembarked the plane.
