March planned to demand women's representation in Vanuatu

From , 6:01 am on 29 October 2019

Hundreds of people are expected to march through Vanuatu's capital on Tuesday to hand over a petition demanding greater representation for women. 

Vanuatu has no women members of parliament, and recent moves to amend the constitution to create reserved seats were thrown out by the government. 

One of the civil society organisers, Jeanette Bolenga, told Jamie Tahana what they'll be demanding.
