African leaders won't see need for women's empowerment

African leaders, the majority of whom are men, will not easily see . This is because from the day they were born, society has taught them to view women in a particular image using a biased lense. Beliefs like: Women do not challenge men, do not speak in public, do not inherit/own property, have not rights over ther bodies, are unintelligent, are very evil etc are fresh in our leaders' minds and it explains why they marry/ cohabit with so many women.

This same attitude is translated into policies and the women will simply continue suffering. The Domestic Relations Bill was not passed by the Ugandan parliament because of the male dorminancy. They were also afraid that they would be criminalised first because they are victims of all kinds of violence against women. Female decision makers in Africa tend to forget that not everyone enjoys the same privileges as them, they need to remember the under privileged, especially their fellow women. Women just like men are human, with emotions and needs, please respect their rights.
