During a moment of recognition for women’s contributions in Antigua and Barbuda, Maria Bird Browne expressed concern about the challenges faced by women with innovative ideas.

She noted that these women often hold back due to the negative impact of criticism and mudslinging they endure.

Browne, the Minister for Housing and Lands, emphasized that this discourages women from actively participating in the country’s development, hindering national growth.

She highlighted the dominance of men in politics and called for more women to support each other.

Browne pointed out that many young women in Antigua and Barbuda are interested in politics but are deterred by superficial criticisms that target women in politics unfairly.

She stressed the need for serious discussions about women’s roles and more support for women in politics.

Browne praised the government’s efforts to empower women, indicating a positive future for gender equality and the country’s development.

She also mentioned an increase in women pursuing traditionally male-dominated fields like construction and architecture, indicating progress.

However, Browne expressed concern that men may continue to dominate parliament in the coming years, highlighting the ongoing challenges for women in politics.
