Govt gets low scores for gender parity
The government has been criticised by female activists for restricting their access to justice and silencing rights advocates, ahead of this year’s International Women’s Day which falls on Sunday.
The activists said the government has continued to engage in such actions, despite having endorsed the legally-binding Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (Cedaw) three years ago.
