The Deputy Minister of Marginalised Communities, Royal Ui|o|oo has called on men to collectively commit to forging a more inclusive world for women. 

He made the remarks while addressing a workshop promoting women's participation in the upcoming elections in the capital today.

|Ui|o|oo said there is a need to redress gender inequalities and eradicate all forms of discrimination against women of all ages in all spheres of life, including women's participation and representation in positions of power and decision-making at all levels.

The Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare (MGEPESW) is calling on some locals to stop using people from marginalised communities for cheap labour.

The Deputy Director of Marginalised Communities, Rebekka Namwandi, says the practice is inconsiderate and has to stop.
 

Namibia is home to three marginalised communities: the San, Ovatue, and Ovatjimba.

Sometimes, various locals take them in with the intention of fostering them, but in reality, that's not always the case.

The National Assembly has rejected a third Private Members Bill in two weeks by Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) leader McHenry Venaani.

Lately, the official opposition leader has been tabling bills on various issues of national concern.

Yesterday's motion aims to recognise, promote, and protect the rights and interests of marginalised communities.

The Rights and Interests of Marginalised Communities' Private Member Bill is the third to be rejected by the majority MPs in the current session.
