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.

Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab tabled the High Court Amendment Bill and the Magistrate's Court Amendment Bill in the National Assembly, which will give equal rights to litigants in house or immovable property repossession cases.

The amendment to the High Court, she said, aims to address inadequate protection given to homeowners and to give sufficient discretionary power.

The other bill is to increase the jurisdiction of the magistrate's court to impose restrictions on the sale of immovable property.
