<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n


\u201cWhen discussing the change of the judiciary, we must also consider the racial and gender diversity of judges, as well as the competence of other key actors in the value chain. Furthermore, as women in positions of leadership on the ground, you must join and support us as the justice and security cluster in combating our communities\u2019 alarming crime rate,\u201d urged Lamola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
