Luanda — 2011 has been a year of great gains for Angolan women, judging from the positive results obtained both national and internationally.
This opinion was expressed Saturday in Luanda by one of the officials of the Angola Divas organising committee.
Speaking to ANGOP on the 5th edition of Angola Divas contest, the director of the event’s organising Semba Comunicação agency, José Paulino, highlighted the fact that an Angolan won the Miss Universe beauty contest, the approval of the law on domestic violence and the feat of the national female basketball team in the African Cup.
He said that Angola Diva is there not only to highlight women, but the whole society where women are a pillar.
According to him, Angola is making progress in terms of gender issue.
He stated that when the contest was created in 2007, the intention was to pay a homage to many actors of the society and their professional and social contributions.
