Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab has stressed the need to translate words into action by effectively implementing policies that are inclusive, especially for women.

This, she says, creates an integrated human rights ecosystem, allowing for equal opportunities.

Minister Dausab pointed out that Namibia is doing relatively well in the human rights ecosystem as it has the right policy and constitutional language, explaining that the language in various pieces of legislation is fit to address questions around gender inequality.

Modern digital tools can promote inclusive global economic growth and empower women and girls.

These were the sentiments shared by various speakers at the basic coding training award ceremony for 40 girls from disadvantaged backgrounds at Groot Aub Primary School.

Among them was 13-year-old Frandrieka Fundula, who believes teaching girls to code can inspire them to stay focused on their education.

"More girls need to be trained because they don't know how to work on computers and laptops."
