At a meeting in Monrovia, women from major political parties acknowledged that despite their central role as voters, mobilizers, and organizers, they remain marginalized in leadership, holding just 10.7% of seats in the Legislature. The coalition, supported by UN Women and civil society groups, unveiled a revised constitution and strategic plan to strengthen advocacy, county structures, and leadership pathways for aspiring female candidates. Organizers emphasized that this renewed unity is critical to breaking entrenched barriers within political parties and ensuring women gain access to winnable seats, marking a determined push for equality and influence in Liberia’s political future.
