Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The truth is; everything is beautiful when it has a proper foundation and objectives as well as goals, but it seems some of the things which make the whole package are left out.<\/p>\n

The reason I am saying this is because I never got a clear explanation as to why I should of all things be celebrating women\u2019s month in our country. I have never even seen its outcomes.<\/p>\n

To me August is always the same as any other month; after all I cannot move the world alone. If truth be told, here in my country I did not see women shouting at the top of their voices ululating or lamenting in August.<\/p>\n

I was expecting them to lament and protest against all the barbaric events happening in the country. Just within the very same month countable murders took place but women were silent and yet again, it is their children who are getting assassinated.<\/p>\n

Women, please sure that you exist and are living. I could not even hear women on the radio programmes talking about national issues. Take for instance from our national radio station program, Seboping, it is in rare chances that I hear female commenters, even on some of the radio stations in the country.<\/p>\n

I thought Basotho women would move village by village assuring that they are capable run the world as they battle for equality and women empowerment. I was expecting they would hold huge conferences or campaigns on best advanced education, entrepreneurship and economy, national affairs coupled with constitution forum, politics-things which at the peak influencing the cosmos.<\/p>\n

What about the health of their children and husbands including of the investors who better our economy? Did they make green peace campaigns, no! Rather they contributed to the environmental problems like littering all over the disposable napkins from point to point.<\/p>\n

Did they open door for apprenticeship opportunities; offer free education on any aspect of life; demonstrate how they want things to be done or help one another as it is said: \u2018Basali ba tent\u0161ana thethana?\u2019 Alas! They still commit cyber space crimes and join useless social media groups like the one so called \u2018Ladies Only Club\u2019.<\/p>\n

Then if women really want to be in a male dominated space like politics and governance, we really have to eradicate \u2018Bosaoana\u2019 within and amongst us. This is the right time to remove a spec from each other\u2019s eye and realise that we are one. We should stop the chit-chats and gossips which create bridges amongst us.<\/p>\n
