The Women Councillors’ Networking Reception is just one of many to mark women’s successes in leadership, politics and business.  Through these events, FAWP aims to nurture and empower more women to get into politics.

 “As women, we already have what we need to lead in politics, business and the social sphere. All we need is to empower one another as women, to find out how much strength and power of conviction there is among us,” says Mutale,
