BotswanaBotswana has a gender supportive policy environment, has achieved gender parity in primary/secondary education and ranks third globally for countries with the highest share of female managers (54.5%). More can be done, especially for women in rural areas who remain marginalised; the 2015 Land Policy amendment (ensuring women have equal land rights) is a potential enabler.
