Africa-Press – Angola. The MPLA’s second provincial secretary in Benguela, Rosalina Kasisa, urged women this Wednesday, in Lobito (Benguela), to promote competence, merit, rigor and seriousness, to be well represented in the various sectors of society.
Rosalina Kasisa, who was speaking during the celebration of the 62nd anniversary of the Angolan Women’s Organization (OMA), the women’s wing of the MPLA, stated that this attitude will help to overcome certain prejudices that the female class still faces.
According to her, throughout its history of struggle, the OMA has known how to mobilize, organize, educate and train its staff.
“For this reason, the MPLA will continue to permanently defend the emancipation and promotion of women, guaranteeing equal rights and opportunities in education, employment, as well as in political, economic, social and cultural life”, he advocated.
He also said that the fight for their rights, empowerment, strengthening democracy, social inclusion and safeguarding the recovery of moral values are challenges that the OMA must continue to embrace.
“We want to appeal to all women, friends and supporters of OMA, to continue to positively influence the maintenance of gender equality, the fight against illiteracy, financial education, entrepreneurship, reproductive health within communities and legal culture”, he stated.
He took the opportunity to urge the OMA on the need to continue carrying out its basic work, in mobilizing those women and men who are not yet MPLA militants.
“The party’s activity cannot be reduced to rallies, which are necessary, but must continue to lead activists, friends and supporters to work every day in the neighborhoods, in the community, wherever they are, for our cause and for those Angolans who They are not our militants”, he concluded.
OMA was founded in 1962 in Leopoldville, now the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), by a group of Angolan women, members of the philanthropic association, called “Kudiangó”.
The MPLA women’s organization celebrates its anniversary on January 10th, in honor of the co-founders Deolinda Rodrigues, Lucrécia Paim, Maria Eugénia, Teresa Afonso, Irene Cohen, Ruth Neto, among others.
