They haven't been working in some kind of a shadow and their achievements have been recognised," said Mongela, who is the past president of the Pan-African Parliament and a veteran politician in Tanzania."By this award we are honouring the women of Liberia and the private sector that is contributing to the development of their country," she said, noting that presidents of the award recipient countries were always ready to be appreciated for the results achieved towards implementation of the SDGEA.According to Mongela, the award is given to a country with a very strong commitment to gender equality.The issue of violence against women is a pressing one in African societies, spanning across borders and perpetrated in various forms such as physical, sexual, emotional and psychological while it tends to increase dramatically in conflict and post-conflict situations.
