Encouraging voters to consider the countless benefits of electing women, Dlamini said she seeks to address the longstanding underrepresentation of women in parliament. With her powerful call-to-action, Dlamini said she was aiming to instigate a positive shift towards gender equality and increased female participation in decision-making.
