Then I pointed out to them very saddening statistics: from 1999 there are more women, and with each election cycle, we have less and less,\u201d the senator said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason why there are fewer women now, I do not know. Maybe people are getting more conservative, or the party in power is far more conservative than the previous one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf we continue along the line that we\u2019re going, we will get to a point where there will be no woman in the senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abaribe asked women to never stop speaking up for themselves regarding participation in governance, warning that failure means nobody will take them seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to continue to speak up; if you don\u2019t, nobody will take you seriously in this country. Because this is what happens, the majority of the people who are in politics and all that are men. And they want to hold on to the advantages that they have,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when I now tried to make a case for the women, you know the questions that that asked? If you want one woman added to the senate, why not give your seat to the person. I mean, can you imagine the thinking that goes on there. So you must always have the courage to speak up and be courageous.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The senate minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe has stated that the number of national assembly seats should be increased so as to get more women involved in governance.
