The Secretary for the Swapo Party Women's Council (SPWC), Fransina Kahungu, says there is a need for Namibian women to narrate their own stories and the role they have played in the development of the nation.

It is against this background that the Council called for a one-day workshop on the recording and collection of information about women in development, a strategic review of the wing's annual activities, and the planning of regional activities.

General Officer Commanding the 4th Artillery Brigade, General Alweendo Namukwambi, has called on Namibians to work together to create a safe space for women.

General Namukwambi was speaking at the celebration of International Women's Day at the Jonas Shoongeleni Ndeimana Barracks outside Otjiwarongo.

As Namibia joined the rest of the world to celebrate International Women's Day, General Namukwambi says countless women are occupying leadership positions, including in the fields of science, the arts, and technology.
