IN THE UPCOMING runoff election, women have a unique opportunity to make history and maintain the prestige they now enjoy with their presence at the vice presidency.
AS IT STANDS, it lies within their (Women) hands to dash or secure the country’s second highest seat. That is, by either supporting the sitting Vice President, Madam Jewel Howard Taylor, or ignoring the significance of her presence in the post, to women.
AS THEY DID in 2017, we believe It is time to challenge the status quo by maintaining the Vice Presidency, especially in a male dominant electoral process. We appeal to women across Liberia, to exercise their right to vote and support their fellow woman, Madam Taylor, who is contesting to maintain this crucial position.
WOMEN MAKE UP half of Liberia’s population, yet their voices have been underrepresented in the political arena for far too long. By maintaining this crucial post, we believe women can ensure that their perspectives, experiences, and concerns are adequately addressed in the decision-making process, as she did over the last five years she has served as Vice President..
WE BELIEVE THAT maintaining a female Vice President would challenge deeply ingrained gender stereotypes and show the world that women are equally capable of holding positions of power and leadership. By voting for a woman, like rye Vice President, it has what it takes to inspire future generations, encouraging young girls to dream big and pursue their ambitions without limitations.
WOMEN FACE UNIQUE challenges and often bear the brunt of social and economic inequalities. As we have seen from her presence in the position, Madam Taylor’s reelection would bring a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of these issues, ensuring that they are given the attention they deserve.
FROM GENDER EQUALITY to women’s health, education, and empowerment, she has championed the causes that directly impact the lives of women across Liberia. With this, we believe if she’s re-elected, women and Liberians will enjoy more.
INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE IS essential for the development and progress of any nation. As we have enjoyed over the last five years, By maintaining a female Vice President, Liberia would send a strong message to the world that it is committed to building an inclusive society that values diversity and promotes equal opportunities for all. This is because, women’s voices and perspectives are crucial in creating policies that address the needs of all citizens, regardless of gender.
LIBERIA STANDS AT a critical juncture, and women have the power to shape its future. We strongly believe that by voting for a Madam Jewel Howard Taylor, women can contribute to a more representative and inclusive political landscape. Because of this, we believe that women, and men who believe in women, must seize this historic opportunity to challenge gender norms, and empower women in Liberia.
AS YOU GO to the poll tomorrow, vote for Madam Jewel Howard Taylor, who’s also the only female in the entire process, to pave the way for a brighter, and more equal and inclusive future.
