My grandfather was a great man who strongly advocated for women’s rights. He famously stated that “As long as women are bound by poverty and as long as they are looked down upon, human rights will lack substance”, and that “Freedom cannot be achieved unless women have been emancipated”. He would be the first to say that if not for courageous women leaders like Albertina Sisulu, Lilian Ngoyi, Winnie Madikizela and many others, the fight to end Apartheid and the building of democracy in South Africa would have been far, far more difficult. Dynamic women leaders are the backbone of our democracy. I applaud The Rosenzweig Report for trumpeting the need for more women leaders for so many years.
