A group, South South Women Advocates for Good Governance(SSWAGG), has commended all stakeholders championing the passage of the Reserved Seat Bill saying that it “is a significant legislative proposal aimed at ensuring greater representation and participation of marginalized groups, particularly women, in decision-making processes.”
According to the Convener of the group, Tracy Agol, “by allocating specific seats for these groups in legislative bodies, it will address the historial inequalities and create a more inclusive political landscape.
“This bill also recognizes that diversity in representation leads to more comprehensive and equitable governance.”
She asserted that, “it is an essential step toward empowering underrepresented communities, allowing their voices to be heard and their needs to be addressed.”
Going further, she averred: “SSWAGG advocates for this bill as it is not just a matter of fairness, but a necessary move towards a society where all individuals can contribute to and influence the policies that affect their lives.
“The South South Women Advocates for Good Governance(SSWAG) also joins all other groups in collaboration with the UN WOMEN to advocate for the Reserved Seat Bill. The Bill is a crucial initiative for advancing social justice and fostering a democratic environment that truly reflects the population it serves.”
