Are women ready for key positions?

Definitely. We have the knowledge and the ability. But we lack the exposure and the experience.

Choices
We need to support the choices women make in their efforts to be fully contributing members of our nation. They should be enabled/empowered to choose working and mothering as against working or mothering.

Chances
Today, we have the chance as never before, to speak out and be heard as women and for women. The Government is committed to ensuring that women are well represented among decision makers and community leaders.  We should maximise every possible opportunity to have a voice in decisions that affect our lives.

Challenges
I believe our greatest challenge is to create mindsets that see women in leadership positions as an indispensable part of a dynamic, innovative, productive and caring society. We need men and women with a more inclusive approach to leadership, driven by values, meaningful outcomes and the common good.
