One once said, "Liberate a man, you will have liberated an individual, liberate a woman
you will have liberated a nation."
That statement is so true especially given the plight of black women in general who have not only suffered racial and
economic discrimination, but had an added burden of gender discrimination.
Since 1994 a lot has happened, many changes have come within the society that have positively affected the value
and place of women in society. Today, women have a representation in almost all the areas they feel they have a
meaningful contribution to make. It suffices to say that we have not arrived yet.
